Pothina Venkata Mahesh Resigns from JS

Visakhapatnam: A senior leader of the Jana Sena Party from Vijayawada, Pothina Venkata Mahesh, has resigned from the party after losing the opportunity to contest in the assembly elections from Vijayawada Assembly constituency. Mahesh had been promised the Jana Sena Party ticket from the West constituency but was upset when the seat was allotted to the BJP as part of the alliance. Pothina Venkata Mahesh expressed concern over the party's approach to grooming new leaders under Pawan Kalyan's leadership, citing that it is being done blindly without proper planning. On Saturday, Mahesh met Jana Sena political affairs committee chairman Nadendla Manohar to discuss his future course of action, but he did not receive any assurance from him.
