Reports are emerging that Pawan Kalyan is likely to insist Chandrababu Naidu to send Balineni Srinivasa Reddy to the Council and then, take him into the cabinet. Pawan Kalyan believes Balineni will ensure Janasena usher in the Prakasam district.
But then, it is a very risky decision considering the interests of the TDP or the alliance as a whole.

Balineni joining Janasena is already creating problems in the district. The TDP leadership in the district fought with Balineni for years together and faced a lot of harassment during Congress and YSR Congress Governments.
In Ongole constituency, it is a direct issue for Damacharla Janardhan. Balineni also harassed Janasena local leadership when Jagan was the Chief Minister.

Making him a Minister will send wrong signals in the districts and will also create unnecessary issues due to multiple power centers.
Moreover, it is widely believed that Balineni is just taking shelter in Janasena for the time being. He does not want to take the risk of being in the Opposition in a Hostile Government. Many even in the Janasena believe he will desert the party and go back to the YSR Congress.

If this happens, it will not only ruin Janasena but also the TDP in the district.
Prakasam is the only district to win three seats for TDP even in its worst defeat in 2019.
Prakasam district TDP leadership displayed a spirited performance even after the 2019 defeat. They do not deserve this after so much hard work.
