Pawan Kalyan-Chandrababu Naidu form alliance for 2024 State elections
Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan, who leads the Jana Sena Party, has announced that he'll be allying with Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party. The alliance will contest together against the YSR Congress Party in the 2024 Assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh. Kalyan announced this development after a 45-minute-long meeting with Naidu, who is currently lodged at the Rajahmundry Central Prison due to a corruption case.
The decision is meant to help people, said Kalyan
Kalyan told the media, "The decision has been taken only for the welfare of the people...the development of the state. It is purely not only meant for political mileage." "I never reverse any decisions that I take based on a thorough study. I have decided to form an alliance and go together to contest in the 2024 Assembly elections against the YSR Congress Party."
Kalyan seeks to ally with the BJP, too
Further elaborating upon his political plans, the Bro actor added, "I have already proposed the idea of allying with JSP, TDP and BJP. Earlier, the idea was tabled before Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I hope that the BJP would also agree to this proposal for the tri-party alliance for the 2024 elections in Andhra Pradesh." "Democracy is in danger in Andra Pradesh," he added.
