BJP to give nine seats to Jana Sena Party

Bharatiya Janata Party JSP Jana Sena Jana Sena Party Pawan Kalyan Assembly BRS KCR TRS Telangana

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and actor Pawan Kalyan led Jana Sena Party (JSP) are likely to jointly contest nine seats in Twin Cities and other parts of the State in the November 30 Assembly elections.

Highly placed BJP sources said the party has decided to give two seats — Kukatpally and Serilingampally — in Hyderabad to Jana Sena Party notwithstanding strong resistance from within the party. The BJP leaders, who were hopeful of performing well in these two seats are now up in arms against the proposal. Mr. Pawan Kalyan, who returned from abroad is likely to meet the BJP leaders on Saturday night.

It is understood that the BJP is planning to give Tandur (Vikarabad district), Nagarkurnool, Kodada (Suryapet district), Palair, Madhira, Kothagudem and Aswaraopet (all old Khammam district) seats to the Jana Sena Party.
