Vijayawada: Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan is frustrated with the Prime Minister’s Office for not considering his request for appointment with Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. He is cut up as the BJP had used him to lure the public during elections.Mr Modi, who earlier said Pawan Kalyan was his younger brother, is now not considering his request. This has brought resentment in Pawan Kalyan.
Pawan Kalyan revealed at the Anantapur meeting held on November 10 that he sought the appointment with the Prime Minister to bring to his notice the injustice done to AP by going back on Special Category Status. However, the Prime Minister hasn’t responded positively so far.
With this Pawan Kalyan has reportedly decided to challenge Mr Modi and BJP.
His plan is to work on movies till 2018 and then enter politics before the elections. Till then he had wanted to work as per public issues reported, but the denial of Special Category Status by the Union government and its aftermath changed things.
“Hearing Pawan Kalyan makes me very happy. Here is a bright youngster who embodies the Telugu spirit and is committed to serving people,” Mr Modi had tweeted after their first meeting in Ahmedabad.
Pawan Kalyan even attended the swearing-in ceremony of the Prime Minister as a NDA ally. Following the SCS twist, he later spoke out against the NDA in his Tirupati, Kakinada and Anantapur public meetings.
The BJP is also reacting in the same way on Pawan Kalyan which is clearly seen in the war of words between Union minister Venkaiah Naidu and Pawan Kalyan.
As an extension to this even the BJP AP State in-charge Siddharth Nath Singh when asked about the relations with Jana Sena, said, “When was Jana Sena in NDA? He only supported for the elections and did not join NDA after that.” This showed the distance between Jana Sena and BJP.
On the other hand, Pawan Kalyan is attracted by the policies of the Left wing parties; he is said to be much inspired by Che Guevara. Jana Sena vice-president Mahinder Reddy said, “Pawan Kalyan and Jana Sena work for the people and not for political benefits. The journey with the BJP is just for the good cause to support AP, and when this is not happening there is no necessity to go along with any party.”
Reacting to this BJP State president Haribabu said, “We don’t know the reasons which bought differences in Pawan Kalyan on BJP policies and changed his opinions. BJP is the same with no changes in its policies.’’
Special is only special in special package: Pawan Kalyan
There is nothing special in Andhra Pradesh special package except for the word “special,” tweeted Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan. They (people of AP) were driven out without a capital after 10 long years of insults, he exploded.
Some 400 Andhras were shot dead in Jai Andhra movement. Besides doing nothing for them, there has been this harping on special package. Bharatiya Janata Party, which promised special status to AP in its manifesto is now backing out in the name of special package, he said.
Jana Sena president, Pawan Kalyan made no exception in attacking the BJP for “treating Andhras as spineless and people of no self-respect”. He accused the national party of going back on its promise of special category status to Andhra Pradesh in the election manifesto.
In a series of tweets for the fourth consecutive day on Sunday, Pawan Kalyan launched a broadside against the BJP government and pointed out that after a decade of humiliation and insult Andhras were thrown out, without a capital and with a huge revenue deficit. The actor pointed out that the promised special category status became special package which is nothing but an eye wash.
The actor-turned-politician said that the BJP’s special package for Andhra Pradesh has nothing special about it apart from the word “special”. He warned that Andhras will never forget the loss of 400 plus-young lives lost in Jai Andhra Agitation. “We swear on the lives of 400 students who were shot dead in Jai Andhra movement. But we are not going to let BJP go unanswered for going back on what was promised,” he warned.
