Discord in TDP-Janasena Alliance on Full Display, Rift in Janasena Spills Out 

Anakapalle: Internal bickering in Pawan Kalyan-led Jana Sena Party (JSP) spilled out in open during a coordination meeting with the TDP members here on Wednesday. 

A scuffle broke out within the rank and file of the Jana Sainiks in front of the TDP leaders over some issue. A meeting between the leaders of TDP and Janasena was held at Uppala Chandrasekhar Kalyana Mandapam in Anakapalle today. During the meeting, two groups of Janasena workers belonging to Gopi and Parachuri Bhaskar Rao had an argument over a petty issue which soon escalated into a brawl. The two groups came to blows and the TDP members had to intervene in the matter. 

It is said the TDP leaders knew that the two groups of Janasena have differences and yet they invited them to the TDP-Janasena coordination meeting to discuss the agenda provided by their respective party leaders. 

The rift between the Janasena first came to the fore when one group tried to belittle the other during party chief Pawan Kalyan’s previous visit to Anakapalle. They both had fought over erecting the flexis to welcome the actor-turned politician to the town. 

In a similar incident. The leaders of both TDP and Janasena engaged in heated arguments during a coordination meeting of the alliance in the erstwhile East Godavari district. Even though both Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan have publicly announced the pre-poll tie-up between the TDP and Janasena, however, this alliance is not visible among the cadres of both the parties. 

The leaders of TDP and Janasena met for the coordination meeting at TDP office in Pithapuram on Tuesday. Constituency incharge and former MLA SVS Varma from TDP and Constituency incharge Uday Srinivas Tangella from Janasena led the talks. Commencing the meeting, Varma leader said the developmental works of worth Rs 2,800 crore were taken up by the TDP regime in the constituency.

Janasena leader Tangella interrupted the TDP leader’s speech and asked if the previous TDP government spent so much money for the development of the constituency then why did the people defeat their party. This enraged Varma who minced no words and said our party leader Naidu was never defeated but your party chief Pawan failed to win a single seat in the last assembly elections. The TDP leader’s counter-argument led to scuffle between the leaders and workers of both the parties.
