After a whirlwind campaign for BJP and TDP during the 2014 elections and ensuring handsome victories to both the parties, film star and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has since then disappeared from active politics.Barring a couple of instances where he ‘raised his voice’ via a series of complicated tweets in the capital farmers, Kapu reservation and special status issues, there is hardly any significant role played by Pawan in either finding a solution to the problems faced by the state and its people.
People who voted for the TDP-BJP combine after Pawan’s assurances even put up banners and flexes across the state demanding that Pawan should come out and fight for their issues. But nothing could move Pawan even an inch and the reclusive star remained unavailable for the very people whom he vowed to fight for.
What angered people and even several supporters of Pawan and his Jana Sena party is Pawan’s unbearable silence over the special status issue and BJP’s betrayal to AP. People believe that special status will ensure AP’s development and with Pawan not in a mood to ‘question’ his good friend Modi about his backtracking, the very people who believed in Pawan stopped counting on him anymore.
Apart from the common people, even no opposition leaders took Pawan’s name over the special status issue. Realizing that he is being ignored by everyone, Pawan, who has already become a political buffoon with his maddening silence, is said to be in a deep state of political insecurity now. If this continues, it could prove detrimental to Pawan’s future political aspirations.
