Panchayat Polls turn a boost to Janasena:- The recent panchayat polls have been completely in the favor of the ruling YSRCP. The opposition party TDP struggled a lot to make an impact in the local body polls and they lost their grip in most of the regions in which they are super strong from the past few years. Janasena performed well in several panchayats and its performance has been remarkable.
