Is Vundavalli Arun Kumar joining Jana Sena?

Is veteran politician, two-time MP and die-hard Congressman Vundavalli Arun Kumar planning to join the Jana Sena? Is this the reason behind his frequent press meets, where he is seen and heard praising Pawan Kalyan? Though he is claiming to be away from active politics since the bifurcation of the state, Vundavalli has suddenly become active these days.

The buzz in twin Godavari districts is that Vundavalli is all set to join the Jana Sena. In fact, Pawan Kalyan always has a special relation with Vundavalli. He not only praised Vundavalli’s intellectual abilities and comprehension of politics, he even made Vundavalli a member of his joint fact-finding committees on various issues plaguing the state.

Vundavalli, a diehard YS Rajasekhara Reddy supporter, kept away from the Congress party and active politics in protest against the way in which Andhra Pradesh was divided. Since then, he has been keeping a low profile. However, of late, he has been addressing a series of press conferences praising Pawan Kalyan.

This gave rise to the buzz that Vundavalli is all set to join the Jana Sena ahead of the 2024 elections. Vundavalli is a charismatic leader with a strong fan base in the twin Godavari districts. His entry, when it happens, will surely improve the prospects of the Jana Sena. He also shares a special relationship with Pawan Kalyan, who holds Vundavalli in high esteem.

However, neither Jana Sena chief nor Vundavalli have clarified about whether the latter would join the Jana Sena. As of now, the rumour mill is working overtime speculating whether Vundavalli will join the Jana Sena and whether he would contest the electoral battle.
