Pawan Kalyan Attacks Sakshi Paper, TV
Dismissing reports of acrimony between him and his brother Chiranjeevi, Pawan said the latter was like a father figure for him. Pawan alleged Jagan and his firms had encroached upon huge tracts of land in the state when Rajasekhara Reddy was the chief minister. He also criticised Jagan's media organisation for "deceiving" people.
"If you vote for YSRCP you will not get ‘ram rajyam' (good governance), but you will (get it) if you cast your vote in favour of the BJP-TDP alliance," he said. Pawan said Jagan had "failed" to protect the self respect of Seemandhra people.
Criticising Congress for "messing up" the division, Pawan said, "It is incumbent upon people of residuary Andhra and Telangana to maintain a cordial relationship as both are Telugu-speaking people. People from both the states should live like brothers even after bifurcation".
Pawan said if parties failed to fulfil promises they were making to people, Jana Sena Party will hold agitations against them. Pawan also lashed out at TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao for "taunting" people of Seemandhra even after the division is materialised.
"I am not scared of KCR's remarks. My fans will look into the matter and take action," he said. "Why KCR has not spoken a single word against Rajasekhar Reddy who looted Telangana?…" Pawan said.
In a blistering attack, Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan ripped Sakshi newspaper, Sakshi TV channel apart. Interestingly Pawan throw a satire on Sakshi media for airing libelous reports, stories on TDP, him. Emotional Pawan said in Rajahmundry meeting, "Whenever I see Sakshi paper, what comes to mind is its yellow colour that resembles TDP and Chandra Babu Naidu. The colour itself gives a sense that TDP, Chandra Babu are good. Sakshi newspaper and TV channel are rooted in corruption. They were born with the looted public exchequer (money)."
Pawan didn't spare Jagan. He lashed out, "I can't sit idle if anyone tries to crush people's rights. My emotion will soar up. Kakinada SEZ is best example for Y.S Rajasekhar Reddy's hunger for land-grabbing. Jagan is no different. He desperately want to occupy the CM throne. Since Congress didn't offer him CM position, Jagan showing his love on people suddenly. Jagan has no right to be CM of Seemandhra as he totally failed to counter KCR who indulged in verbal attack on Seemandhra people. I urge youth here to showcase Konaseema pourusham."
Pawan set the record straight. He said stable and experienced leader Chandra Babu Naidu is the only good bet for Seemandhra. Pawan's speeches got thunderous response from crowds. With this TDP and BJP cadres are in cloudnine.
