Rapaka Varaprasad Rao, the only elected MLA of Janasena, seems have disappointed with the latest decision of the party chief Pawan Kalyan.
Rapaka, being the only MLA to represent Janasena in assembly, has been lauding Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for quite some time. His praises on the young CM has reached to the next level and even where identified to be contradictory, to the Janasena leaders.
For instance, Janasena was not happy with the AP budget and it also expressed its opinion through a video. But Rapaka was in all praise of the state government, lauding the budget. He also supported the state government’s proposal of employing 75% locals in the companies, industries and other job-providing establishments in the state, while there was a severe backlash for the idea, from all the sides.
Pawan Kalyan, being the party chief, is supposed to guide his party’s MLA, about the topics to be discussed in the assembly or else, the MLA, himself is supposed to consult the party office. But it seems, there was no such guidance for him from the party and, reportedly, even Rapaka is not in a mood to listen to the party chief, as he himself lost in the election.
Identifying such gesture from Rapaka, the Janasena chief kept him away from the recently announced Politburo. Nadendla Manohar, Ramamohan Rao, Arham Khan and Raju Ravitej were picked into Janasena’s Politburo. Rapaka is inducted into the party’s political affairs committee.

Rapaka is now hurt with Pawan Kalyan with his act for allegedly neglecting him. Fortunately, there are no such signs of him to leave the party. But if he considers to do so, then Janasena may lose its basic identity and a representative in the assembly, which can be a bigger jolt to the party than the recent election result.
