Will Pawan show his fiery side at cash for vote press meet?

Power Star Pawan Kalyan is all set to respond to the cash for vote scam in his capacity as Jana Sena chief. After critics flayed Pawan for staying mum on the issue, the Jana Sena chief tweeted yesterday saying he will soon hold a press meet to air his views on the controversial issue.

Ever since news broke of Pawan responding, political circles is buzzing with talks speculating on whose side the Jana Sena chief would take.

During his party launch Pawan had said that Jana Sena was to question erring politicians, weed out corruption and bring down useless governments. He was the angry young man of Tollywood showing his dissent towards the victimisation of common man. Now, we wonder if Pawan will sweet talk during his press meet or take the risk of hitting out at politicians. Now, the question is would Pawan dare put Chandrababu in a spot?

Soon after floating his new party Jana Sena, Pawan chose to support TDP- BJP alliance instead of contesting in polls on his own. He canvassed for BJP and TDP members extensively during the poll campaign.

Political analysts feel that Pawan may not speak up on the cash-for-vote scam at length. He is most likely to say: "I cannot speak on this much as the case is in the court. Law will take its own course."

In his tweets, Pawan clearly said that he is going to speak on the phone tapping issue. It is a known fact that TDP has been countering the TRS on the phone tapping issue and lodged a complaint to the Centre on the same. Pawan has to speak in support of TDP if he wants to raise the phone tapping issue.

The buzz is that Pawan will not point and attack one leader instead he will indirectly target both the CMs. The Jana Sena chief is likely to give advises to the CMs a la few senior BJP leaders saying both the CMs should keep aside the differences and concentrate on development.

But given the flak that he's been facing for his silence and also supporting the TDP, Pawan is expected to slightly corner the TDP government this time.

The Jana Sena chief in his tweets warned that the leaders should not drag any issue till the end. He might follow his tweet and not attack the ruling parties.
