However, as the Jana Sena Party was allocated the Avanigadda seat, Buddhaprasad bid goodbye to TDP and joined Jana Sena. The Jana Sena Party has yet to announce its candidate for the Avanigadda ticket.

In today's event in the presence of Pawan, along with Buddhaprasad, leader from Palakonda, Nimmaka Jayakrishna also joined Jana Sena. He too resigned from TDP and embraced Jana Sena. With the Jana Sena Party yet to announce its candidate for the Palakonda Assembly constituency, it is speculated that Nimmaka Jayakrishna might be given the ticket.

Jana Sena is contesting in 21 Assembly and 2 MP constituencies in Andhra Pradesh, in alliance with TDP-BJP. The party has already released its list of candidates for 19 Assembly and 2 MP constituencies. The remaining constituencies are Avanigadda and Palakonda. The joining of Mandali Buddhaprasad and Nimmaka Jayakrishna has brought clarity to the candidature for these two seats.
