Pawan extends support to protests against VSP Privatisation
It is well known that for the past 260 days, employees of Steel Plant are continuously holding protest demonstrations against Central government’s decision to disinvest in VSP. This agitation was supported by all ruling parties in the state except BJP and Jana Sena until now. Protests in Delhi and Vizag, paadayatra did not change the centre’s decision. Now last but not the least, Pawan Kalyan decided to support the protests. He will arrive at Ukku protest site on October 31st at 2 pm and will extend support to them.

Is Jana Sena distancing itself from BJP?
Speculations in cadre and on social media rose high on Tuesday that Pawan Kalyan took serious decision on alliance BJP. Party cadre say that it is better to fight alone rather than friendship with BJP. There is problem for the party to fight in the State as few policies of Central government are against the people. We will go ahead leaving BJP aside or else it won’t help the party’s future, say Jana Sena leaders.
The gap looks to be getting widened for the past few months. Even the decision of not contesting in Badvelu bypoll by Jana Sena was not liked by the BJP, which is going ahead and contesting.Though the leaders of both parties say that they are united, there is clear split visible in the cadre. Is this a hint for future that Jana Sena will move away from the BJP?
