Hyderabad, 2 June 2026 — Jana Sena Party (JSP) ke president aur Andhra Pradesh ke Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan ne mangoal ko announce kiya hai ki unka party aane wale Telangana Assembly elections mein khada hoga. Isse JSP ka political footprint Andhra Pradesh ke baahar bhi badhega. Hyderabad mein press conference ke dauraan Kalyan ne clarify kiya ki JSP Telangana mein candidates field karegi, lekin unko sure nahi hai ki alliance partners BJP aur TDP bhi is neighbouring state mein saath denge ya nahi.
Kalyan ka ye announcement tab aaya hai jab Andhra Pradesh mein naya NDA alliance bana hai, jahan unki role crucial thi BJP aur Telugu Desam Party (TDP) ko support dilane mein, jisse December 2023 ke Assembly elections mein Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy ki YSRCP ko hataaya gaya. Telangana mein past electoral setbacks ke bawajood—jahan JSP ne 2023 aur 2019 mein 8 Assembly seats aur 5 Lok Sabha seats contest ki thi bina kisi kamyabi ke—Kalyan ne party ki presence badhane ki confidence zara hai. Unhone suggest kiya ki Telangana-based parties ke saath alliances ho sakte hain, jaise K. Kavitha ki naya launch kiya hua Telangana Rashtra Sena.
Timing ko lekar logon ke doubts ke jawab mein, Kalyan ne defend kiya ki Telangana mein public meetings karna sahi hai, aur unhone kaha, “Rahul Gandhi ya Priyanka Gandhi Wayanad ya kahin bhi jaakar contest kar sakte hain, lekin main nahi? Kya unko lagta hai Telangana unka fiefdom hai?” Kalyan ne Telangana se apna emotional connection bhi zara, aur region ki welfare ke liye commitment bataya, jaise Lord Anjanaya temple (Kondagattu) ko ₹30 crore ka donation. Unhone local leaders ke objections ko dismiss kiya, jaise Telangana Congress ke chief Mahesh Kumar Goud, aur apne resolve ko zara ki unka Telangana tour personal level par ho.
Lekin JSP ke plans ko announcement se pehle hi administrative hurdles face karne pade. Party ne Hyderabad ke Gachibowli mein Sandhya Convention Ground par meeting karne ki police se permission maangi thi, lekin 12th Telangana Formation Day ke grounds par deny kar di gayi. Police ne kaha ki political analyst aur former Telangana MLC K. Nageshwar ke controversy ke baad tensions badh sakte hain—Nageshwar ne claim kiya tha ki Kalyan ne Union Home Minister Amit Shah se Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy ki arrest ki request ki thi. Kalyan aur JSP ne is claim ko reject kiya aur Nageshwar ke khilaaf FIR filed ki, jiske baad Nageshwar ne maafi maangi aur apne remarks withdraw kar liye. Police ne kaha ki controversy pehle se hi Telangana aur Andhra Pradesh ke logon ke beech acrimony create kar rahi hai, jisse public order ko lekar concerns hain.
Isi din, Telangana ke Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka ne Khammam mein State Formation Day celebrations ke dauraan ambitious economic aur welfare goals outline kiye. Vikramarka ne plan bataya ki Telangana ki economy ko current $200 billion se badhaakar 2034 tak $1 trillion aur 2047 tak $3 trillion tak le jaana hai. Unhone government ki integrated development strategy ko highlight kiya, jisme state ki economy ko “Cure, Pure, aur Rare” teen segments mein categorize kiya gaya hai taaki structured growth ho. Welfare initiatives mein se ek hai government school students ke liye free nutritious breakfast scheme, jo 2026-27 academic year se shuru hoga pre-primary se Intermediate level tak. Khammam district mein hi 61,065 children (1,187 schools) aur 6,300 Intermediate students ko is scheme aur mid-day meals se benefit milega.
Vikramarka ne “Every Child Reads” initiative ki success bhi zara, jisse Khammam mein students ki reading capacity 11% se 85% tak badhi hai. State ke green energy aur women empowerment initiatives ka target hai 20,000 MW renewable energy produce karna aur 2030 tak ₹2 lakh crore ka investment attract karna. Khammam district mein hi 58 MW ke solar panels 2,718 government buildings par install kiye jaayenge. Government ne pehle do saal aur paanch mahine mein hi women self-help groups (SHGs) ko ₹60,000 crore ke bank-linked loans disburse kiye hain, jabki 5 saal ka target ₹1 lakh crore ka hai. Khammam mein hi ₹57.15 crore ka interest subsidy 52,059 SHGs ko release kiya gaya.
Is din do narratives the—ek taraf political expansion ka, aur doosre taraf developmental ambition ka—jo electoral politics ki competitive dynamics aur state ke inclusive growth aur social justice ke commitment ko reflect karte hain.
