Trouble brews at home for Pawan

• He will launch party and unveil agenda today
• Nagababu, Ramcharan move away from him

Hyderabad: While film actor is all set to enter the political arena by announcing the launch of his political party Jana Sena on Friday at Hitex in Madhapur – which will be live telecast in 28 centres across the state – his elder brother Nagababu, also a film actor, distanced himself from Pawan.

A few days back, Chiranjeevi’s son Ramcharan also said that he would not go with his uncle’s party.

Nagababu told media that Chiranjeevi strove hard to lay a royal path for the family members and they owe to him whatever success, name and fame they had achieved in their life. He said that while those who want to go with Pawan can follow their conscience but he would continue to be with Chiranjeevi. Undeterred, Pawan’s PR managers are going ahead making all arrangements for him to unveil the name, logo and philosophy of party. Pawan’s close associates say that it will be a party with a difference. His intention is not get to positions but to give voice to the people in the State who are frustrated.

He will also seek to represent the people who are looking for a platform to question the people in power. The party's logo would be similar to a yantra.

Pawan, the sources say, has already prepared a list of issues he would touch upon and the problems that the society is afflicted with. He will dwell at length on how people should select the right people to create a proper political environment.

Arrangements have been made to set up giant screens in 18 major towns and cities in the state. Pawan will speak for about 50 minutes. About 3,000 people will attend the programme at Hitex.

According to the statement circulated to the media, Pawan Kalyan wants to connect to the society with the state of our politics. "He wants to help establish the vital link between society and politics. He has already been highly successful in creating in the minds of people that strong character and clean conduct in public is of great importance. Pawan wants socio-political change," the statement added.

Pawan’s decision to float a new party has invited reactions from various quarters. KCR's daughter K Kavitha ridiculed Pawan’s attempt and said everyone knows what had happened to Chiranjeevi's Praja Rajayam Party. CPI state secretary K Narayana said Pawan Kalyan is a handsome hero but would not know how successful he would be in politics.

On the other hand, one Balaraju from Telangana claimed that he had filed an application with the Election Commission six months back to register a party with the same name as that of Pawans party Jana Sena with the aim to work for bringing social justice in Telangana. He urged Pawan to change the name of his party.

Meanwhile, Election Commission said it would take at least six months to register a new party. As Pawan Kalyan applied for registration of his Jana Sena with Election Commission only on Monday, there was no possibility of the party getting registered. In such an event, no common symbol can be allotted to Jana Sena candidates and they will have to contest as independent.
