Pawan resorting to strange kind of politics

Senior YSR Congress party (YSRCP) leader Ummareddy Venkateswarlu doubted if Janasena party president Pawan Kalyan had clarity of thought on issues pertaining to politics. The actor-turned-politician is resorting to strange kind of politics, he commented.

Addressing a press conference here at the YSRCP office today, Venkateswarlu recalled that Pawan never attended protests called by Leader of Opposition in Andhra Pradesh Assembly and YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for the Special Category Status (SCS). Pawan Kalyan should recall that he had supported the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in previous elections, he added.

"It is evident that Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan share a cordial relationship because the TDP chief never criticized Pawan. The Jana Sena party did not question Chandrababu's land pooling against the interests of the farmers. Did Pawan question Chandrababu on the atrocities committed by the Janma Bhumi committees and sand mafia?" he demanded to know.

Venkateswarlu, the Leader of Opposition in Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council, further said that the Janasena chief was questioning the Opposition after keeping mum for four years. "Pawan did not respond on the defection of YSRCP MLAs to TDP."

He asked why Pawan did not respond to the TDP's "drama" comments over the attack on YS Jagan.
