Taking strong exception to Pawan Kalyan’s tirade against Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy at a public meeting in Visakhapatnam, on December 7, IT Minister Gudivada Amarnath said that Mr. Kalyan is nothing but a ‘political contractor’ shifting between regions and political parties and he has no right to speak about the CM, as he barely lives for a few days in Andhra Pradesh.
Addressing a press conference in Visakhapatnam, on December 8, he said, “Pawan has no reason behind his political ambition. He shuttles between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and has two different versions for the two Telugu speaking States. “When he was campaigning in Telangana for his party in the recent elections, he was speaking as he hails from that place and when he speaks in A.P., he becomes a part of Andhra. It is playing two different characters for two different movies. He does not understand that movie making is different from hardcore politics and running a State,” he said.
After contesting in the recent polls in Telangana, he [Pawan] should realise his market standing. In total, he could barely garner about 4,000 votes. In fact, Mr. Kalyan should understand that Sirisha who is known as ‘barrelakka’ in Telangana has a better election result, though she had lost in the race.
