Jana Sena Party chief and Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, who has been keeping away both from the party activities as well as the administrative responsibilities for quite some time owing to his ill-health, is now back in action.
Pawan Kalyan, who resumed his official responsibilities on Thursday, has now started focussing on the party affairs, too, to strengthen the organisational structure of the Jana Sena Party ahead of the upcoming local body elections.
The Jana Sena chief has already issued directions regarding membership registration and has reportedly gathered constituency-wise feedback from party strongholds in the erstwhile Godavari districts.
Based on internal reports, Pawan Kalyan is believed to be preparing for key organisational changes, including replacing constituency in-charges in several Assembly segments of the undivided West Godavari district.
According to party sources, new in-charges are likely to be appointed in constituencies such as Gopalapuram and Chintalapudi.
There is speculation that current Gopalapuram in-charge Suvarna Raju may be replaced by woman leader Fatima Rani. Similarly, in Chintalapudi, Meka Eswarayya could reportedly be replaced by an NRI leader.
Sources indicate that social equations and greater representation for women are being considered in the selection process. Discussions are also underway regarding new appointments in Achanta and Tanuku constituencies.
Party insiders say two major parameters are being considered while evaluating in-charges — constituency-level performance and their initiative in membership enrolment drives. Leaders actively working among the public are expected to be rewarded with responsibilities.
West Godavari district party president Kotikalapudi Govinda Rao has reportedly already submitted detailed reports on constituency conditions and the need for leadership changes to the party high command.
