Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabham’s daughter Barlapudi Kranthi on May 3 (Friday) alleged that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was using her father to defame Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan.
“On May 2, my father dared Mr. Pawan Kalayan saying that he would change his name to Padmanabham Reddy if he failed to defeat the JSP president in Pithapuram Assembly constituency. He also pledged to drive Mr. Pawan Kalayan out of Pithapuram. I condemn these statements of my father,” Ms. Kranthi said in a one-minute video released by her.
“I do not understand the reasons for these comments of my father. Even his supporters do not like his views on Mr. Pawan Kalyan. My father can strive for the victory of YSRCP Pithapuram MLA candidate Vanga Geetha. But his statements should not hurt anybody, be it Mr. Pawan Kalyan otr somebody else,” she said.
