Pawan Kalyan to Campaign for NDA in Maharashtra, Aiming to Sway Telugu Voters
The NDA alliance is deploying a strategic campaign tactic by bringing in AP Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan to campaign in Maharashtra. This move reflects the growing national presence of the alliance and the importance of mobilizing voters across state lines.
Pawan Kalyan, known for his charismatic leadership and influence in Andhra Pradesh, is scheduled to campaign in select constituencies of Maharashtra on October 16th and 17th. While his impact on Marathi voters might be limited, he is expected to sway Telugu and South Indian voters in the state, a significant demographic in certain regions.
The alliance's strategy is rooted in Pawan Kalyan's strong track record in AP politics. His 100% strike rate in the state's elections and his key role in forging alliances demonstrate his influence. This move builds on the rapport established earlier this year when AP CM Chandrababu Naidu introduced Pawan Kalyan to Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde at the Ambani wedding.
Pawan Kalyan's journey from a disappointing 2019 campaign in AP to becoming a national figure for the NDA in 2024 is a testament to his growing stature and the trust placed in him by the alliance. This campaign in Maharashtra signifies a new phase in his political career and promises to be a significant test of his influence beyond his home state.
While the exact constituencies and route map for the campaign remain undisclosed, Pawan Kalyan's involvement in Maharashtra is sure to garner attention and could potentially impact the upcoming elections in the state.
