Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena has on Monday commended the state-wide bandh in Andhra Pradesh.  Saying that it was successful, the party noted that such protests are very much needed to impress upon the Centre.

"Although our party doesn't support anything that causes inconvenience to people, special status is essential for Andhra Pradesh.  As such, there is a need for peaceful protests going forward.  We have to move ahead with the same spirit our people have shown today," the party opined.

Jana Sena Party's Twitter handle says that its activists and supporters participated widely across AP in the bandh.
