The recent announcement of Janasena party leader Pawan Kalyan's candidacy from the same constituency has further energized the political scene in Pithapuram. This action comes after Janasena was given the Pithapuram seat as part of the TDP, BJP, and Janasena seat-sharing agreement.

The choice was not without consequence, as followers of TDP's former MLA and candidate SVSN Varma staged protests and criticized TDP leadership to voice their displeasure.

Given his tendency to explore contentious topics and his outspoken character, Ram Gopal Varma's entry into politics is not wholly surprising. He has previously been outspoken in his criticism of Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan, among other well-known politicians.
