It has been nearly 16 months since the Telugu Desam Party-led coalition, that includes Jana Sena Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in Andhra Pradesh.
While the TDP has been making every effort to strengthen the party with party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu regularly holding meetings with the party leaders, the BJP is also regularly holding the party meetings across the state.
On the other hand, Jana Sena party chief and deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan has not been paying any attention to strengthen the party network.
He seems to be still in the hangover of the success of his latest film “OG.”
However, now, Pawan Kalyan seems to have suddenly woken up from slumber and has decided to focus on strengthening his party while continuing to support the ruling alliance.
At a meeting with senior party leaders on Sunday, Pawan finalised crucial decisions, including the rollout of what he termed the ‘Trishul Strategy.’
According to party sources, this strategy aims to prepare the organisation for upcoming local body elections, consolidate cadre unity, and expand the party’s grassroots presence across the state.
Pawan has also begun preparations for a series of district tours to boost morale and mobilize support at the field level, source said.
The deputy chief minister also held a meeting of the Jana Sena Legislature Party meeting, where he reportedly issued clear directions to MLAs, MPs, and MLCs to intensify engagement with party workers and the public.
Each legislator, he said, should take responsibility for five assembly constituencies, maintaining direct contact with local cadres, Janasainiks, and Veera Mahilas.
He instructed leaders to assess the implementation of welfare schemes, the reach of government benefits, youth skill development initiatives, and efforts towards economic empowerment of women.
Pawan also emphasized the need to review infrastructure issues such as roads and public amenities.
The deputy CM announced that committees would be formed for each focus area, with a directive to submit reports within six weeks.
He stressed that the party must prove its strength in the local body polls and consider the sentiments of Jana Sena workers in constituencies where the party stayed away from contests as part of coalition discipline during the general elections.
Pawan also underlined the importance of encouraging youth participation and new leadership, asserting that the Jana Sena’s next phase of growth would be built on these twin pillars.
