Vijayawada: Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has announced the party’s nominees for Razole and Rajanagaram assembly segments for the ensuing polls in AP. Addressing party leaders and cadres after hoisting the national flag to mark the 75th Republic Day celebrations at the party office in Mangalagiri on Friday, he said some party leaders from Mandapeta assembly segment met him on Thursday. They expressed their anguish that Telugu Desam chief N. Chandababu Naidu has announced the nominee for Mandapeta, even though both JS-TD are in political alliance and have agreed to announce the names of nominees after mutual consultations.Pawan Kalyan said he convinced the Mandapeta leaders that Naidu might have announced the nominee for Mandapeta segment under special circumstances, as he is under pressure. The JS chief said he too is facing pressure from party supporters. This has prompted JS chief Pawan Kalyan to announce that Jana Sena will fight the elections from Razole and Rajanagaram assembly constituencies, claiming that both Naidu and himself are doing so under special circumstances.
