Pawan Kalyan's Inconsistent Political Agenda Might Make Janasena Party Come Undone ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Pawan Kalyan's Inconsistent Political Agenda Might Make Janasena Party Come Undone SWAMY KALVA UDAY KUMAR GADDAM Swamy Kalva ([email protected]) is a doctoral candidate at the Department of Political Science in the University of Hyderabad. Uday Kumar Gaddam ([email protected]) is an independent research scholar based in Hyderabad. Vol. 53, Issue No. 31, 04 Aug, 2018 We are indebted to an anonymous reviewer of this paper for providing insightful and sharp comments and providing directions for additional work which has resulted in this paper. Without the reviewer’s supportive insights, this paper would not have been possible. Pawan Kalyan’s political party, the Janasena Party has no clear agenda and has been inconsistent in taking concrete steps. It looks unlikely that the political outfit can succeed solely based on Pawan Kalyan’s on-screen prowess. Film actors in the South Indian cinema industry tend to enjoy a larger-than-life image. Right from the emergence of MG Ramachandran (MGR) in Tamil Nadu and Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR) in Andhra Pradesh, and the entry of screenplay writer and poet M Karunanidhi, there has been a periodical entry of one celebrated actor or the other into politics. Recently, Rajianikanth and Kamal Haasan, also made announcements about their political futures. As artistes, they enjoy an exclusive place in the minds and hearts of millions of fans. Rajinikanth's moves and statements, in particular, are being closely monitored, especially by seasoned political stalwarts, as they see a threat (or a potential ally) in the superstar, who can make or break existing parties and governments. In addition ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 to the Tamil and Telugu film industries, this trend has also captured the imagination of those from Kannada and Malayalam industries as well. This is not to say that actors from the Hindi film industry or other languages like Bengali, Marathi and Bhojpuri have not nurtured political aspirations. Quite a few have forayed into the rough and tumble of politics. However, there is a fundamental difference from the actors of those regions and those hailing from the south. It has been only stars from the south who have actually floated political parties. From the Hindi film industry, it was only Dev Anand and IS Johar who floated parties, ostensibly to exploit their individual popularity and capitalise on the anti-Congress wave in the post-Emergency period. The successes of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) have propelled many a celluloid personality to contemplate emulating the trailblazing trends of pioneers like MGR and NTR and establish their own political parties. For them, a vision for the masses or policies were not important; the roles they essayed were their ticket to getting an identity that was acceptable to the movie-goers. The likes of Vijayakanth, SarathKumar, Upendra and Chiranjeevi, each of whom ranked at the very top with spectacular hits and fan-following, belong to this genre. It is an indication of the mature mindset of the electorate that none of them could rise to the dizzy heights of MGR, NTR, Karunanidhi and J Jayalalithaa, all of whom established themselves as effective chief ministers and regional satraps that no national party could ignore, particularly in the era of coalitions. Telugu film industry’s “Power Star” Pawan Kalyan (and Chiranjeevi’s younger brother), with an extraordinarily high fan following has always managed to bring an audience to the theatres like no other. Wanting to use this sway to his advantage and driven by political ambitions, he established the Janasena Party in 2014. Contrary to Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam Party, Pawan Kalyan did not contest the elections. Let us consider the political ideologies of Pawan Kalyan, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. Rajinikanth hinted at right-wing leanings, while Kamal Haasan is likely to lean towards the left. While announcing his political innings Rajinikanth indicated his trust and belief in right- wing politics. He said: “There is a need for a political change. The system needs a change. We need a politics that is truthful, straightforward and clean. We need a kind of politics that is devoid of the influence of caste and religion. We need ‘spiritual politics’. That is my goal and wish.” (Hindu 2017) Rajinikanth’s rapport with Narendra Modi is quite well known, especially considering the praise he heaped on Modi in the wake of demonetisation. Perhaps the “spiritual politics” in his speech is indicative of a possible future alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As for Kamal Haasan, it is rather clear from his meetings with the chief ministers of Kerala and Delhi, that he is not going to toe the line of the ruling party at the centre and any state. Kamal Haasan has declared: “My colour is definitely not saffron”(Economic Times 2017). ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 However, Pawan Kalyan's political ideology is inconsistent. Janasena’s Blurred Vision Kalyan’s Janasena Party has neither subscribed to the BJP's politics nor has he come up with an alternative agenda that has been able to garner attention from people. The Janasena had no hesitation in supporting the BJP–TDP alliance in Andhra Pradesh, although at times they made soft criticisms against the TDP. However, the Modi government at the centre was never criticised, not even on a single count. Founded on 14 March 2014, the Janasena is yet to come up with a comprehensive agenda, policy or vision. Even on the official party website, only three issues are listed: Special Status to Andhra Pradesh State; the Uddanam Kidney Issue and Aqua Food Park.[1] With just a launch announcement and no constructive moves from the party, it has not truly made its presence felt. Even on issues such as reservations, Kalyan has made flaky statements. While on the one hand he spoke of seeing a day when there are no reservations, he also supported the inclusion of Kapu castes into the other Backward Classes category. Kalyan’s reaction to the “Justice for Rohith Movement” was made one whole year after the tragic incident took place and sparked a nationwide debate on higher education institutions and the prevelance of caste discrimination. Kalyan’s stand on reservations andthe emancipation of Dalits is not very different from the stated opinions of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or other right- wing parties. Janasena Party ideology, gathered from Kalyan’s Twitter presence, is fairly oblivious to the question of caste. In the case of Vemula, Kalyan criticised the BJP’s role and blamed the suicide only on pressure from the state, invisibilising the role of caste equations and vulnerability that drove him to suicide (Hindu 2016). 2019 and the Road Ahead With the 2019 assembly and general elections around the corner, all political parties in Andhra Pradesh, along with the Janasena Party have started on their campaigns aiming to get into power. Key contenders for the prime position, the TDP and the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) are using their full strength to attract voters. The state has been neglected for the past four prime years of the initial rule. The revamped promise of special status to the Andhra Pradesh state according to the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act and promises made by the BJP have come to the forefront again and the YSRCP is strongly banking on this ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 issue to put up a strong fight against the TDP. This has put the TDP in an awkward position, as they have had to give ultimatums to their ally in the centre, the BJP. The BJP’s reluctance in granting special status for the state of Andhra Pradesh caused the TDP to withdraw from the National Democratic Party alliance. While this political upheaval was churning in the state, Kalyan’s Janasena, along with the support of political parties and retired IAS officers formed a Joint Fact-Finding Committee (JFFC) to investigate the fund allocations from the centre. The report found many discrepancies and that there are partialities in allocating funds to the state (New Indian Express 2018). The Janasena should have led the movement with all the political parties in the form of Joint Action Committee as planned before the formation of the JFFC. Jaya Prakash Narayan of the Lok Satta Party, who was part of the JFFC mentioned that Kalyan lacked the spirit to continue the movement further for the special status issue. Jayaprakash Narayan quit this committee and formed his own committee (New Indian Express 2018). The Janasena’s march (Padayatra) for the special state status for Andhra Pradesh (After the meetings in Tirupati, Kakinada and Ananthapur, which were the first politically active moves of the Janasena) along with the communist parties on 6 April 2018 attracted many youngsters to take to the streets in support of them. If one observes his post-march press conference or any of his speeches, Kalyan takes a soft approach against the centre and highlights the failures of the state government. His passive or soft approach towards the BJP may be an indication that the Janasena might be looking to join the NDA alliance for the 2019 elections to form a government in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The Janasena along with the BJP and YSRCP’s support could easily form an alliance in the state showing the failures of the TDP. This whole plot might be part of the “Operation Dravida”[2] where the BJP is aiming at forming its coalition governments in this states acting in the capacity of a kingmaker. Will Kalyan’s on-screen persona have any impact on his political future? With the rise of social media, and its profound impact, it will be difficult for “reel-stars” to elevate themselves as real-life heroes for whom social justice means more than anything else in life.

  • Tribute to Kishore Kumar
    Articles by Prince Rama Varma Tribute to Kishore Kumar As a child, I used to listen to a lot of Hindi film songs. As a middle aged man, I still do. The difference however, is that when I was a child I had no idea which song was sung by Mukesh, which song by Rafi, by Kishore and so on unlike these days when I can listen to a Kishore song I have never heard before and roughly pinpoint the year when he may have sung it as well as the actor who may have appeared on screen. On 13th October 1987, I heard that Kishore Kumar had passed away. In the evening there was a tribute to him on TV which was when I discovered that 85% of my favourite songs were sung by him. Like thousands of casual music lovers in our country, I used to be under the delusion that Kishore sang mostly funny songs, while Rafi sang romantic numbers, Mukesh,sad songs…and Manna Dey, classical songs. During the past twenty years, I have journeyed a lot, both in music as well as in life. And many of my childhood heroes have diminished in stature over the years. But a few…..a precious few….have grown……. steadily….and continue to grow, each time I am exposed to their brilliance. M.D.Ramanathan, Martina Navratilova, Bruce Lee, Swami Vivekananda, Kunchan Nambiar, to name a few…..and Kishore Kumar. I have had the privilege of studying classical music for more than two and a half decades from some truly phenomenal Gurus and I go around giving lecture demonstrations about how important it is for a singer to know an instrument and vice versa.

  • Gram Panchayat Elections in Andhra Pradesh State,2021--An Over View
    © 2021 JETIR March 2021, Volume 8, Issue 3 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Gram Panchayat Elections in Andhra Pradesh State,2021--An Over View *Dr. B. Rajendra Prasad, Dept. of Political Science, Maris Stella College for Women (A), Vijayawada ABSTRACT “Local self-governments must be the basis of any true system of democracy. We have got rather into the habit of thinking of democracy at the top and not so much below. Democracy at the top will not be a success unless it is built on the foundations from below”.---- Jawaharlal Nehru. The success of a democratic system largely depends upon the existence and efficient operation of a system of Local Self-Governments at the grassroot levels. The democratic and ideals of Decentralisation, development and increased continuous and active popular participation of in the process of nation building can be possible only through the organisation and efficient working system of local government. In fact, each part of India whether Rural or Urban is being locally administered for the satisfaction of local needs by a local government. The makers our constitution were fully aware of the imperative necessity of organising a system of local self- government at the grassroot level and using it as a solid foundation for ensuring the stability, strength and health of the Indian liberal democratic political system. The 4th ordinary elections to Gram Panchayats were held in July 2013. In this connection I would like to present the Fifth Gram Panchayat Elections results , percentage of polling, mandate of the voters of elections conducted in Andhra Pradesh State in the month of February ,2021 for the satisfaction of local needs by a local self-governments in spite of many disputes levelled between State Election Commission and State Government to conduct these elections.

  • Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014
    WID.world WORKING PAPER N° 2019/05 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee Amory Gethin Thomas Piketty March 2019 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee, Amory Gethin, Thomas Piketty* January 16, 2019 Abstract This paper combines surveys, election results and social spending data to document the long-run evolution of political cleavages in India. From a dominant- party system featuring the Indian National Congress as the main actor of the mediation of political conflicts, Indian politics have gradually come to include a number of smaller regionalist parties and, more recently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). These changes coincide with the rise of religious divisions and the persistence of strong caste-based cleavages, while education, income and occupation play little role (controlling for caste) in determining voters’ choices. We find no evidence that India’s new party system has been associated with changes in social policy. While BJP-led states are generally characterized by a smaller social sector, switching to a party representing upper castes or upper classes has no significant effect on social spending. We interpret this as evidence that voters seem to be less driven by straightforward economic interests than by sectarian interests and cultural priorities. In India, as in many Western democracies, political conflicts have become increasingly focused on identity and religious-ethnic conflicts

About the Book Narendra Modi, the present Prime Minister of India, is a true blue RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or National Volunteers Organization) swayamsevak or volunteer. More importantly, he is a product of prachaarak system, a unique institution of RSS. More than his election campaigns, his conduct after becoming the Prime Minister really tells us how a responsible RSS worker and prachaarak responds to any responsibility he is entrusted with. His rise is also illustrative example of submission by author in this book that RSS has been able to design a system that can create ‘extraordinary achievers out of ordinary people’. When the first edition of Secrets of RSS was released, air was thick with motivated propaganda about ‘Saffron terror’ and RSS was the favourite whipping boy as the face of ‘Hindu fascism’.

  • Political Parties in India
    A M K RESOURCE WORLD GENERAL KNOWLEDGE www.amkresourceinfo.com Political Parties in India India has very diverse multi party political system. There are three types of political parties in Indiai.e. national parties (7), state recognized party (48) and unrecognized parties (1706). All the political parties which wish to contest local, state or national elections are required to be registered by the Election Commission of India (ECI). A recognized party enjoys privileges like reserved party symbol, free broadcast time on state run television and radio in the favour of party. Election commission asks to these national parties regarding the date of elections and receives inputs for the conduct of free and fair polls National Party: A registered party is recognised as a National Party only if it fulfils any one of the following three conditions: 1.
