Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan passionately supports and goes to great lengths for TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu, raising questions about his motives and his own political identity.
The arrest of former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and the ongoing investigations against him and his son has dealt a significant blow to the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) as they were trying to regain traction after a major defeat in the 2019 elections.
Telugu Desam Party chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu's arrest is expected to continue for some time, causing political drama in Andhra Pradesh, leading Pawan Kalyan to position himself as the voice of the Jana Sena-TDP alliance until Naidu is released, potentially resulting in the suspension or cancellation of director Harish Shankar's filming schedule.
Pawan Kalyan, the chief of the Jana Sena Party, has reportedly decided to form an alliance with the Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh, opting to ignore the Bharatiya Janata Party due to their alleged support of the current government's arrest of TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu.
During a press conference, TDP General Secretary Nara Lokesh's mention of his brother Pawan Kalyan as his support while leading the party in the absence of their father, Chandrababu Naidu, displayed ignorance and undermined the importance of TDP leaders.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has reportedly offered 25 assembly seats and three Lok Sabha seats to the Jana Sena Party, while also speculating over potential seats if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) joins the alliance.
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has a history of forming alliances in elections, but its recent alliance with Janasena is seen as a potential mistake that could either kill the TDP or weaken it significantly, as Janasena lacks a solid foundation and may claim all the credit if the alliance succeeds, while the Kapu community could position themselves as the saviors of the Kammas, further complicating matters for the TDP.
Pawan Kalyan is considering leading the TDP and its supporters, but he must first gain the support of his own party members who are vehemently opposing the idea of an alliance with the TDP.
Pawan Kalyan was advised by the TDP and its allied media to remain silent during his Varahi Yatra in order to prevent overshadowing the news of Chandrababu Naidu's arrest, leaving him in a situation where he is unable to act independently but still claims to lead the TDP.

Jagan Mohan Reddy is confident of returning to power for a second term, while the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) struggles and faces uncertainty due to the imprisonment of its leaders N.

The BJP's struggle to gain traction in Andhra Pradesh politics is believed to be due to the cunning politics of TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu and the biased reporting of media figures Ch Ramoji Rao and V Radha Krishna.
The meeting between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president J P Nadda and the chairpersons of two media houses, Ch Ramoji Rao and Vemuri Radha Krishna, has raised questions as they have been openly supporting Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu, who is currently in prison, and criticizing the ruling YSR Congress party.
Pawan Kalyan has been instructed by the TDP high command to temporarily relocate to Hyderabad in order to continue his campaign due to his lackluster speeches and underwhelming response to the TDP-Janasena alliance.
The absence of a strong second-in-command in the Telugu Desam Party has left the party in chaos and without direction, making it uncertain how they will fare in upcoming elections.
The decision of Pawan Kalyan, the president of Jana Sena Party, to ally with the Telugu Desam Party has caused discontent among party leaders, leading to resignations and exploration of other political options.
