Pawan Kalyan's - Jana Sena Party

Telugu actor Pawan Kalyan is set to float a new party as "Jana Sena" ("People's Army") and make an official announcement about his political entry, party symbol, flag and other details in a press meet to be held at Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC) in Madhapur today evening.

Pawan Kalyan will be addressing a select gathering of fans numbering about 6,000. The actor is also expected to release a book that he has written on politics.

Pawan Kalyan's team has made special arrangements to telecast the press meet live in 28 centres across Andhra Pradesh and one center in Bangalore. Giant screens are being set up for live telecast in major places.

The party launch event will be live streamed online on a few websites. Idlebrain will be covering the event live HERE. Tv9 Telugu will also be live streaming the event HERE. One can also watch Pawan's speech HERE on Youtube.


Initial reports suggest that Jana Sena will contest only in 10-20 per cent of the 294 Assembly and 42 Lok Sabha seats. With a huge fan following in the youth, the 43-year-old actor can play spoil sport with main political parties in both the regions by attracting a good chunk of votes.

The ‘Power Star', who shares No. 1 slot in the Telugu film industry with Mahesh Babu, is riding on the crest of a wave of popularity with two back to back blockbuster hits of Gabbarsingh and Attaarintiki Daaredi.

Pawan Kalyan, a recluse person, headed the youth wing of Praja Rajyam founded by his actor brother Chiranjeevi five years ago. After a hectic tour across the State that witnessed flamboyant speeches, the actor suddenly disappeared from public life following the merger of the party with the Congress.

Reports suggested that he fell out with his brother after the merger. He wanted his brother to keep the party alive despite the setback at the polls.

Devender Goud Quit TDP, starting party!

The Telugu Desam second in command, Mr T. Devender Goud, quit the party on Monday over its refusal to champion the cause of a separate Telangana state.

In his resignation letter, Mr Goud pointed out that the TD had performed well in the recent bypolls since it had announced that it was not against Telangana.

“But after the bypolls, some leaders in the party are again reiterating the united Andhra slogan, which is nothing but betraying the people of this region,” Mr Goud said.

He said the people of Telangana region have been exploited in every aspect by the other regions and also flayed the TD leadership for encouraging those who criticised him.

The Telangana protagonist, Devender Goud, will announce his new political outfit after a brainstorming session with Telangana intellectuals on June 28 in hyderabad.

The prospect of Mr Goud starting his own party is creating ripples in the Telangana Rashtra Samiti, which is espousing the cause of separate Telangana. The TRS ideologue, Prof K. Jayasankar, party adviser on irrigation matters Mr R. Vidyasagar Rao and some other intellectuals, who are backing TRS chief Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao called on Mr Goud at his residence on Tuesday.

It is learnt that Mr Rao sent Prof Jayasankar as an emissary to have a co-ordination with Mr Goud’s party. But, Mr Goud bluntly rejected the proposal of a tie-up with the TRS. “We won’t sail with the TRS under any circumstances,” he said.

The TRS leadership apparently feels that as Mr Goud belongs to the backward community and his goal is the same as that of the TRS, there may be mass migrations from the party to Mr Goud’s outfit in the backdrop of the recent debacle in the recent bypolls.

Prof Jayasankar said the Telangana movement has reached a crucial stage. He called upon all pro-statehood forces to launch a unified agitation. He said that Telangana statehood would be a reality after 2009 elections.
