It was 2009. And it was the moment when general elections heat caught up among all political parties including newly launched PRP led by Megastar Chiranjeevi.
In fact, Chiranjeevi launched his party with full of aspirations seeking social justice. Like never before in the history of independent India, Chiranjeevi gave MLA tickets to 100 BCs and 28 more tickets were given to Muslims.
Being a responsible means of communication media should have highlighted and glorified Chiranjeevi's gesture. Instead, what did it do? Yellow media, which got full of casteist venom spread in every nook and corner of it, indulged in Goebbels propaganda against Chiranjeevi. It repeatedly broadcast that Chiranjeevi and Allu Aravind sold out tickets. They didn't even have the common sense, if PRP head had really intended to collect that much money, he would have given maximum tickets to Kamma and Reddy communities.
On the other hand, TDP covert, Kesineni Nani showed his true colours against PRP in the last week of January. Nani, who acted as PRP's Vijayawada Urban division's convener, castigated that the party was promoting casteism within the party. As his job was done, he got his post resigned to PRP and joined TDP later.
It's 2019. Janasena is in the race now. The party is all set to contest in general elections. As Chiranjeevi being a godly personality, every opposition force slang mud on him, as they knew there wouldn't be befitting reply from Chiranjeevi. Of course, Pawan Kalyan is also like a God to his crores of fans. But the problem for oppositions is that Pawan Kalyan is not 'God' but he is a nightmare for them. That's why, rival politicians are getting shivers down the spines to attack Pawan Kalyan in any manner.
While, Kesineni Nani accused Chiranjeevi and Allu Aravind in the month end of January, 2009, there have been no traces of such coverts in Janasena till date. Even if they are noticed, Janasena loyalists were trained in such a way, they, themselves, show the doors to those coverts giving them 'special honours'.
That forms the difference. That's the 10 years challenge of Janasena. Somehow, the victory is half done for Janasena with its approach in the battle of elections.
