When Pawan Kalyan founded the JanaSena Party, he had only his "Power Star" charisma. Financial and organizational support was minimal. Yet, he stepped in alone, gradually building a strong follower base of JanaSainiks. Despite numerous setbacks, Pawan never backed down. He consistently challenged Jagan and connected with people by standing against injustice and aggression. By uniting anti-Jagan forces, he disrupted YSRCP’s calculations with his "Why Not 175?" campaign, ensuring votes didn't split and favoring the coalition.
YSRCP targeted Pawan Kalyan personally, attacking him daily. They ridiculed his three marriages, called him a foster child, and mocked him as "Pavala Kalyan." They derided him as a "package star" and criticized his dual roles in movies and politics. Despite these attacks, Pawan remained resilient, stating repeatedly that he endured everything for Andhra Pradesh’s future. His emotional speeches often moved his followers.
Pawan Kalyan avoided ego clashes and showed humility, making sacrifices for the coalition. He never wavered, even when YSRCP attempted to break the alliance. Despite ridicule and accusations of taking packages, Pawan stood firm. He responded to YSRCP’s slanders with his unique style, asserting that he would only stop YSRCP's downfall if he were not Pawan Kalyan.
Facing YSRCP’s onslaught, Pawan led the coalition and managed seat arrangements with his distinctive approach. He challenged Jagan with a firm stance for state welfare, promoting the slogan "Hello AP, Bye Bye YSRCP," showing how the final punch should land.
