Visakhapatnam: Jana Sena president and Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan addressed party activists and representatives from 25 parliamentary constituencies here on Friday and outlined his vision for transforming the regional party into a national force.
Speaking to Jana Sainiks, women leaders and representatives from various professions, Pawan Kalyan said the Jana Sena differed fundamentally from other regional parties. "Jana Sena is a party that was established for national uplift and welfare of its people," he said at the party’s Senato Senani programme.
This, PK said, was unlike the parties formed around regional grievances or caste considerations.
He stressed that Jana Sena operated on seven core principles designed for national welfare. “We do not adopt emotion-based or caste-specific approaches for electoral gains.”
Kalyan also spoke of his strategic approach to balancing cinema and politics. "The medium of cinema is my strength. It is a field that has earned me crores of fans. Without films, it would have taken me 30-40 years to reach my current political level.”
PK announced plans to gradually transform his film fan base into "a politically organised army of the Jana Sena Party," He would continue making films, but only under "mandatory circumstances" to financially sustain and advance his party's objectives.
The Deputy Chief Minister outlined his vision for creating robust leadership structures from ward level to state level. "I do not want to bring in or appoint anyone in the party organisationally," he stated.
Responding to criticism about neglecting party affairs while in government, Pawan Kalyan said, "When the alliance government came to power, word spread that I left the Jana Sena Party and that I did not care for the workers."
He described his learning curve in governance as similar to "a small child learning to swim."
The Jana Sena chief reaffirmed his party's secular credentials while defending Hindu interests. "I respect Islam, Christianity and other religions. I have nothing to do with caste and religion," he stated, while promising to speak directly against those who "insult Hindus, Hindu traditions and Hindu sentiments under the guise of secularism."
