Muppala Nageswara Rao of CPI even got ready to file his nomination. But in the last minute, Pawan changed his mind and announced Challapalli Srinivas as Jana Sena candidate for Mangalagiri constituency. CPI is said to be upset with this and is getting ready to sort it out with Pawan Kalyan. CPI's candidate Muppala Nageswara Rao is furious on Pawan's last minute decision and alleged that Jana Sena had deceived the poll pact. Lokesh is taking on YSR Congress’ Sitting MLA, Alla Rama Krishna Reddy in Mangalagiri. Alla won the 2014 elections with just 12 Votes. Both Lokesh and Alla are already canvassing aggressively in Mangalagiri and with this last minute decision, Janasena Candidate will do a lot of catching up.
