Jana Sena Party president and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, who played a key role in forging the alliance between the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of last year’s elections in Andhra Pradesh, is now considering a similar political experiment in Tamil Nadu, where elections are due next year.
On Monday, Pawan Kalyan met with a delegation from Tamil Nadu, led by Tamil writer and environmental activist K.S. Radhakrishnan.
The group included author-publisher Maravanpulavu K Sacchidanandan, MGR’s grandson Satyarajendran, as well as leaders of various public organizations and intellectuals.
The discussion focused on Tamil Nadu’s current political and administrative scenario, the issues faced by its people, potential solutions, cultural concerns, and the preservation of dharma.
Addressing the delegation, Pawan Kalyan said he was aware of the challenges confronting Tamil Nadu.
“Jana Sena will extend its support wherever necessary for the welfare of the Tamil people. Strong leadership is essential for ensuring public safety and meaningful development. Only then can citizens feel truly secure,” he stated.
He emphasized that stable governance is vital in every state.
“Preventing vote-splitting is crucial during elections to achieve this. I believe a strong political alliance is necessary for the nation’s growth and public welfare. The Jana Sena Party is committed to playing its part in this effort,” he added.
Pawan Kalyan further said that politics should be treated as a responsibility, and power must be used as a tool for public good.
“That belief led me to establish the Jana Sena Party. Rather than chasing votes and seats, we chose a path focused on the people's welfare — and they have acknowledged and blessed that journey,” he said.
