For all the enthusiasm being displayed by Pawan Kalyan, at the end of the day, there seems to be no doubt that he is merely there to prevent YS Jagan Mohan Reddy from becoming the CM in 2019 as well.
In other words, he is only canvassing for TDP. The timing also is very interesting!
Chandrababu Naidu under attack from various quarters suddenly decides that Kapu should get 5% reservation and gets the Bill passed in the Assembly.
This is not something that will stand in a Court of law. But Chandrababu can always say that he had passed the Bill but the Centre and Courts rejected it. That way, he can appease both the Kapus and BCs.
And immediately after the reservation bill is passed, Pawan Kalyan enters the scene and his primary target is YS Jagan.
It is the Kapu vote bank that will once again prove crucial in 2019 and by passing the bill and getting Pawan Kalyan to enter the scene once again;
Chandrababu has once again proved himself to be a shrewd politician. But should the Kapu community decide to place the welfare of Andhra Pradesh above that of Pawan Kalyan or casteist considerations, Pawan Kalyana and the TDP might be in for a very rude shock in 2019.
Having said that, it is perhaps foolish to expect such broad-mindedness in caste-ridden Andhra Pradesh.
