It would be very interesting to hear the most senior politicians in the state Rayapati Sambhasiva Rao and JC Diwakar Reddy expressing readiness to work under the leadership of Janasena President Pawan Kalyan to achieve special status for Andhra Pradesh state.

Actually, being senior leaders they should lead the others including the opposition parties to achieve this task, but they are ready to follow Pawan Kalyan, who is not sure about his political entry yet. Actor Shivaji, who has been elected as president of ‘Pratyeka Hodha Sadhana Samithi’ is also demanding Pawan Kalyan to take initiative to launch a fight for special status. He is assuring that people of the state are ready to follow him.

It is very funny to hear all these people insisting Pawan Kalyan to lead them, who is playing a guest politician role ever since he floated his Janasena party. Perhaps, Rayapati and JC Diwakar Reddy may want to prove that he also can do nothing in this matter.

Shivaji may be expecting that Pawan Kalyan can mobilize his fans to intensify their fight for this cause. He may be expecting that Pawan Kalyan can easily convince Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he closely worked with him during elections campaigning last year. However, he is forgetting a point that Pawan Kalyan not even minds to reply to his appeal for support to his fight for special status, when he sat for indefinite hunger strike a couple of months ago. Pawan Kalyan may ignore his pleas because he may not want to spoil his relation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Hence, Shivaji or Rayapati or whoever else can’t expect him to lead their fight for special status.
