Jagtial: Actor turned politician Pawan Kalyan said the Jana Sena would contest in seven to 14 Lok Sabha seats in the State in the next elections. He also said the target was also to have at least 10 Jana Sena MLAs in Telangana.

Speaking to the media at Kondagattu on Tuesday, Pawan Kalyan also talked about Jana Sena’s possible poll alliance with political parties in Telangana.

For this, Jana Sena was ready to enter a poll alliance with any political party which has a good ideology in Telangana, he said.
