On Friday, the Jana Sena Party leader, Pawan Kalyan lashed out at the Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu about the Special Status category to Andhra Pradesh. The actor verbally attacked the Union Minister.
At a press meet at the JSP office on Friday, the actor turned politician said, “Do you think we are your slaves? If only you showed the same interest as you did in Swarna Bharathi Trust and the Ram Mandir issue, you could have got special status for AP.” Pawan Kalyan expressed his objection to Vankaiah Naidu and said that the Centre has deemed AP to be fit for ‘bestowing’ the Special Status and expressed that they are not begging for it.
He also said that it was his trust in AP CM Chandrababu Naidu and the PM Narendra Modi because of which he campaigned for TDP-BJP in the 2014 elections. Speaking about this he said, “They made use of me in Telangana, AP, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. But they are not delivering on the promises made for the state.”
The actor also addressed the issue of corruption allegations made against his party members. He said, “Singapore’s ex-premier Lee Kuan Yew is Naidu’s inspiration. Yew had jailed his own friends for corruption. Naidu should also do it.”
Y. Sujana Chowdary, the Union Science and Technology minister speaking about the Vizag RK Beach protest said that it had no matter and that if they were inspired by Jallikattu protests then the protesters should play a similar sport with pigs. The JSP leader objected her words and said that it was not the way to speak or address an issue.
