Seshachalam Forest is not merely a forest; it is the sacred abode of Lord Balaji, blessed by the seven holy hills. And here, in this divine place, a heinous crime is being committed against our nation, our economy, our faith and our environment.
We speak of the Red Sanders tree. This incredible wealth, this Rakta Chandanam, is found nowhere else on Earth. It is a unique treasure, and it carries the spiritual weight of our people. Legends say it emerged from the divine blood of Lord Venkateswara himself! To cut this tree is not just a forestry crime—it is a spiritual desecration!
These trees are not lifeless wood. We know from the work of the great Indian scientist, Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, that plants feel pain and shock. They live in a community, what the German forester Peter Wohlleben calls the "Wood-Wide Web." They share, they communicate, they protect each other.
When a mother tree is felled, the entire network shudders with an agonizing electric shock. The criminals who wield the axe are tearing apart a living, sacred community! They see only the red treasure, but we see the wounded faith of millions!
The recent inspection of the godowns at the Mangalam Depot reflected a chilling testament to the plunder of the last few years. It is a silent graveyard. 2.6 lakh logs—the severed remains of an estimated 1.3 lakh Mother trees—stolen, butchered, and stacked as numbered inventory. The financial theft alone is staggering: ₹2,000 crore, perhaps ₹5,000 crore, stolen directly from the State Exchequer and our national future! This is money that belongs to our people, money that should be building roads, schools and hospitals.
But this raises critical questions
How can a few people encroach on forest lands so easily?
Who gives them the audacity to cut down the red sandalwood trees without fear?
How do they smuggle them in broad daylight, escaping from the police, the security, the government agencies, and the community around the forest?
The answers point to systemic failure and a terrible lack of political will in the past. We must stop asking why and start demanding justice.
It’s time all those culprits faced the law and its consequences! No more can individuals treat these ancient forests as gardens in their backyards or treat the Endangered Red Sanders as their personal property.
Our coalition government will not tolerate the smuggling of Red Sanders any longer. We are identifying the smugglers, kingpins and all culprits involved. We will not just arrest them; we will seize their assets under the Forest Act!
A special, full-fledged operation, similar to the Centre's 'Operation Kagar,' to wipe out every single individual involved in this illegal trade shall be initiated soon. We will ensure fear among the smugglers so that no one, no one, dares to touch a single Red Sanders tree again.
The Red Sanders is a life that feels, it is our national wealth, and it is sacred. We are watching, and we will protect the wealth of our nation and the divine sanctity of Seshachalam!

The Novotel incident in Visakhapatnam on October 15th, 2022, stands as a defining chapter in the history of the JanaSena Party. On that day, the entire state witnessed the true spirit of every Veer Mahila,every JanaSainik & every leader and general public - your courage, your resilience, and above all, your unwavering determination to stand firm against injustice. It was a moment that not only tested us but also united us, showing the world what we are made of.
Since that day, JanaSena has continued to leave its mark—both in Andhra Pradesh and across the nation. I have no doubt that the future holds even greater things for us, and our impact will be felt far and wide in our land. Yet, no matter where we go or how high we rise, October 15th will always be etched in the hearts and souls of every one. It was a day that transformed us, giving us strength and purpose like never before. To show solidarity,in the middle of the night, a Mother with her 2-3 year old kid being there with JanaSena flag ,had given me immense strength & courage to fight on a tyrannical regime. My heartfelt thanks to all for infusing the courage.
Thank you #AndhraPradesh Deputy CM @PawanKalyan@JanaSenaParty for a productive discussion on our complementary economies. We are looking forward to deepening Australia's partnership and collaboration with AP under your leadership. 🇦🇺🤝🇮🇳
విజయవాడలో @ncbn గారు @PawanKalyan గారితో జరిపిన రోడ్షో మరపురానిది. గత కొన్ని రోజులుగా ఆంధ్ర రాష్ట్రం అంతటా పర్యటించిన తర్వాత, ప్రజలు పెద్ద సంఖ్యలో NDAకి ఓటు వేస్తారని నేను విశ్వసిస్తున్నాను. మహిళలు మరియు యువ ఓటర్లు మేం చేసిన అభివృద్ధిని ఆమోదిస్తున్నారు. @BJP4Andhra@JaiTDP@JanaSenaParty
Dear @PawanKalyan gaaru as you are about to face the big battle of politics. As a member of your film family I hope you achieve everything you wish and keep all your promises. I am rooting for you and I am confident the entire fraternity is too. All the very best sir 🙏🏼
తనువులు వేరైనా లక్ష్యం ఒక్కటే
మార్గాలు వేరైనా గమ్యం ఒక్కటే
తన గుండెచప్పుడు ఎప్పుడు జనమే
తన ఆశయం ఎల్లప్పుడూ జనహితమే.
జనసేనానికి పుట్టినరోజు శుభాకాం��్షలు.
