Janasena founder, actor turned politician, Pawan Kalyan is likely to contest from two constituencies exactly like his brother Konidela Chiranjeevi. In 2009 Elections, Chiranjeevi contested from both Palakollu and Tirupathi. While Megastar faced defeat at his native place, Emerged victorious in the temple town.
Now, as Gajuwaka in Visakhapatnam has been finalised for Pawan to contest, he wants to contest in another constituency and it would be either Eluru in West Godavari or Pithapuram in East Godavari. Party members think it as a strategic move as the party mainly concentrates on the 5 districts from Godavari and Uttar Andhra keeping in mind about the vast fan base for Pawan Kalyan.
The plan is to influence the voters in Uttar Andhra and Godavari Districts by making Pawan contest from two segments. This theory hasn’t pleased some because if Pawan wins in both seats, he has to resign in one and it leads to by-election. Let’s see if JSP supremo gives a second thought on it.
