Andhra Pradesh: Actor-turned-politician, Jana Sena supremo Pawan Kalyan is currently touring in villages that are severely hit by the Nivar Cyclone. Janasenani is visiting farmers affected by the cyclone.
The other day, Pawan Kalyan toured in Chittor district. After visiting the farmers, Pawan Kalyanchaired a meeting with the party activists in the temple city Tirupati. His statements at the press briefing about his brother Megastar Chiranjeevi made many heads turn.
Talking about his brother Chiranjeevi, who floated Praja Rajyam Party (PRP), Pawan said Chiranjeevi was a powerful leader. If he would have been continued in politics, he might have become Chief Minister.
In the event, he has sung the same tune on why he changed his decision to act in movies even after entering active politics. He said, unlike other politicians, he doesn’t have factories and media houses, movies are the only source of his income.
He found fault with the party activists who tried to interrupt his speech and made slogans of Chief Minister.
Earlier, when Pawan Kalyan went to meet the farmers, his fans and Jana Sena party workers shouted Chief Minister, Chief Minister. This irked Pawan Kalyan. He asked the fans to not make such slogans.
Chiranjeevi floated Praja Rajyam Party in 2008 and contested the 2009 elections. The party lost the election by winning only 18 out of 294 assembly seats, in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. Later, he merged the party in Congress.
Many analysts have opined that if Chiranjeevi would have not merged his party into the Congress party, he would have become Chief Minister. Now Pawan Kalyan said the same thing.
