Samarlakota (Kakinada dist): Castigating TDP national president N Chandrababu Naidu and Tollywood actor and Jana Sena Party founder-president K Pawan Kalyan for resorting to what he alleged ‘opportunistic politics,’ Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday said that the duo has commercialised politics by pursuing the policy of plunder, stash and devour.
Speaking at a public meeting here, considered the heartland of Kapus, the community to which Pawan Kalyan belongs, he took potshots at both Naidu and Pawan Kalyan.
“After 2019 polls, Naidu was never seen in the State continuously for one month. It is only now that he is seen in the Rajamahendravaram Central Jail for the last one month. Terming Pawan Kalyan as his foster-son, Jagan said the actor-turned politician is only visiting the State during intermissions of cinema shooting.” He said sarcastically that they do not have any concern for the problems of the people.
For both Naidu and Pawan Kalyan, politics means business, he said, adding they don’t entertain any love or attachment for the people. “Chandrababu Naidu, his son, brother-in-law and foster son do not have a permanent address in the State, not even the gang of thieves who are supporting them,” the Chief Minister said, taking a dig at their indulgence in part time politics.
Describing Pawan Kalyan as a ‘package star’, who had lost in both Bhimavaram and Gajuwaka Assembly seats in the last elections, has been using the voters as use and throw commodities, he said adding that the actor is ready to sell the votes of his fans, followers and group en masse to TDP.
“Having no credibility among the masses, both of them use the platform of politics as business for selfish gains. They want to use politics as an instrument to implement their policy of exploitation. They did it previously and want to do it again,” he said.
He further went on to say that when one looks at the face of Naidu, one remembers scams, backstabbing, cheating and corruption, but if anyone looks at the face of Jagan, DBT welfare schemes, concern for the problems of the people and fulfillment of elections manifesto are reflected.
