Former CBI Joint Director Lakshmi Narayana took VRS and joined Politics. He contested for Vishaka Parliament in 2019 on Janasena ticket but lost.
Lakshmi Narayana cut into the votes of TDP and helped the YSR Congress candidate win by a small margin.
After the elections, he left Janasena citing the non-serious Politics of Pawan Kalyan.
He floated Jai Bharath National Party and fielded candidates in a few seats.
He himself contested from Vishakapatnam North and lost the deposit. He managed to get only 5,160 votes while an independent Vaddi Sirisha polled 5,311 votes.
The rest of the candidates of his party also proved ineffective and lost deposits in all the seats.
Lakshmi Narayana is a classic case of wasting People’s confidence.
Vizag people could not digest the fact that he emerged as a vote-cutter benefitting the YSR Congress candidate in 2019.
Also, JD Lakshminarayana became a non-serious politician after leaving Janasena. In some YouTube interviews, he also made a few comments favoring Jagan that dented his support base completely.
If he continued in Janasena, he would have easily won from whichever seat he contested.
Also, he would have been a guaranteed pick for the cabinet today.
