Jana Sena party chief Pawan Kalyan told NDTV that he chose the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance over Andhra Chief Minister Jagan Reddy's YSR Congress because of the "Misgovernance, loot, and corruption done by Jagan Reddy's party...I think it's time for change and NDA to come." On Jagan Reddy's claim that he is doing welfare for the people, Mr Kalyan said, "It's not about welfare but about Fundamental Rights...no matter how welfare you do, you cannot take the liberty of an individual."
