Pawan's Jana Sena is B-Team of TRS: BJP

Hyderabad: The Bharatiya Janata Party has ridiculed the film actor-turned-politician and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan's Telangana yatra and described his party as B-Team of TRS.

"BJP strongly feels Pawan Kalyan’s 4-year-old under construction project ‘Jana Sena’ is the B team of TRS. It’s quite evident that CM KCR and his government who does not allow any leader or any party to reach out to the masses in this state, to have allowed Pawan Kalyan’s yatra speak volumes of a possible deal between the both," Telangana BJP Spokespersons Krishna Saagar Rao said in a statement on Monday.

The BJP leader said people of Telangana don’t suffer from memory loss and understand that Pawan Kalyan was dead against Telangana formation and has even abused those who fought and died for the separate statehood. His package politics in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana will be rejected by people, he said.

"Jana Sena is bereft of ideology, leaders, cadre and sincerity. Pawan Kalyan, who kept promising the people of Andhra Pradesh that he will be a questioner, has clearly turned into a full time eulogizer of both the chief ministers. No wonder both the CM’s are plotting to utilize this ‘election season politician’ to divide their anti-establishment vote," he said.

"What’s quite funny about Pawan Kalyan is that, he brags that he is a follower of Periyar Rama Swamy of Dravidian Movement, but he uses Hindi slogan for his first political Yatra from Telangana - Chalore Chalore Chal Chalore. It exposes the man’s opportunism to simply use north and south divide for political outcomes with zero sincerity towards language or regional discrimination issue," the BJP leader said.

Further, Rao said that BJP believed that Pawan Kalyan’s style of politics would be rejected by Telangana people. "He neither has sincerity to serve people nor any sense of responsibility, especially towards the people of Telangana. His movie Jana Sena is a flop show, even before it’s released," he said.
