Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Thursday commented on political developments in Andhra Pradesh. Speaking about Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party, KCR said that the actor-cum-politician will not be able to emerge as a political force to reckon in the near future.
KCR said that Kapu community will play a significant role in the 2019 elections. However he said that Kalyan who hails from the same community will not be able to fetch votes. He asked, “Will Pawan Kalyan get votes by merely waving his hand at the crowds?”
The TRS supremo held that a political party should have a mass appeal to be effective. He said that a persona like Megastar Chiranjeevi could not run a party and preferred to reduce his burden by dissolving the Praja Rajyam party. He hinted that JanaSena would follow the footsteps of PRP.
Indirectly referring to Kalyan’s unmoved attitude, KCR said that any person must be ready to fight, strive towards achieving the goal. He said that he ran TRS for 14years and had participated in several movements
KCR said that Telangana politics is free from the influence of caste while Andhra Pradesh is still under the clutches of caste-based- politics. He said that AP cannot free itself from the grasps of caste anytime soon.
