Jagan renamed Konaseema to disturb harmony among locals, says Pawan

Jana Sena Party president K. Pawan Kalyan on Saturday lamented that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy's motive behind renaming Konaseema district as Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district was to disturb the harmony among the local communities to derive political mileage.

Addressing a public meeting here on Saturday, Mr. Pawan said the manner in which Konaseema district was renamed gave rise to a suspicion that it was intended to drive a wedge among various castes. He was in Konaseema district on Saturday as part of Koulu Rythu Bharosa Yatra to offer financial aid to the families of tenant farmers who ended their lives due to agrarian distress since 2019.

"The Jana Sena Party will draw inspiration from the ideology and services of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi. We never attempt to use their names and figures for political benefit like the YSR Congress Party", said Mr. Pawan.
