Will History Repeat Itself with Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena?

Though floating political parties is not a new phenomenon in Andhra Pradesh, the rate of infant mortality of new political outfits in the state is very high.

In the 58-year history of Andhra Pradesh, several political parties, right from the Reddy Congress to the very recent one, Jana Sena, floated by film actor Pawan Kalyan, have been formed.

Of them only a few such as the TDP and the TRS have managed to survive political tides whereas remaining parties were either merged with the Congress or were consigned to oblivion.

Pawan Kalyan to float political party?

The actor is continuing to play the political cards close to his chest

The very mention of Pawan Kalyan brings to mind, images of a maverick -- non-conformist, rebel and one-of-a-kind actor. While rumours of his political ‘arangetram’ are flying high and thick, the actor is continuing to play the political cards close to his chest.

Director Trivikram Srinivas, a close friend of Mr. Kalyan, says nothing has fructified yet. “He has got political ambitions. The cloud of uncertainty hanging over his plans will blow away soon,” says the ace director of blockbuster movie ‘Atharintiki Daaredi.’

A few persons very close to the actor assert that he would certainly float a new party.
