Janasena is more than five years old but is facing the first election after its existence on 11th of this month. In 2014, Pawan Kalyan has supported and campaigned for TDP-BJP combine. In this election, Pawan Kalyan joined hands with Communist Parties and BSP to fight all the 175 seats in Andhra Pradesh.
However, Janasena did not ignite influx from the other parties like in the case of Praja Rajyam Party. Pawan Kalyan admitted whoever came into the party and gave the seats they have asked for. For instance, SPY Reddy family came to Janasena after rejected by TDP and they were given Three MLA and One MP Seat.
The rest of the seats were given to youth. Pawan Kalyan should be appreciated for giving those seats to Youth without any obligations. Some very ordinary candidates managed to get tickets. But in ground reality, around 80 to 90 candidates of Janasena have already lost hopes on these elections and have even given up campaigning.
Communists and BSP got a decent chunk of seats from Janasena but practically they have very little hopes of making it to Assembly. As of now, the candidates in only 30 to 40 seats are campaigning on the ground where the party has hope to give a fight or win. Realistically, no political expert is ready to give more than 10 seats to Janasena. We will have to see if Janasena will prove them wrong
