Andhra Pradesh, 04 October, 2024: The recent comments made by Pawan Kalyan, the founder of the Jana Sena Party, have caused a stir among the political landscape in Andhra Pradesh. Chaitanya Reddy, leader of the Kissan Congress Committee (AICC), has strongly condemned Kalyan’s remarks regarding Rahul Gandhi, Opposition leader in the parliament.
Chaitanya stated, “Pawan Kalyan has no right to comment on Rahul Gandhi, who is a strong devotee of Hindu gods and all other religious gods. Rahul Ji’s criticism of the BJP and Prime Minister Modi regarding the Ayodhya issue was a factual assessment, as evident from the BJP’s failure in the matter.” Chaitanya also urged Pawan Kalyan to tell the people what reforms he has made to secure forests and protect wild animals in order to save the environment.
Kalyan’s recent attempt to use the Tirumala Laddu issue as a political ploy to sway voters ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections has been widely criticized. Chaitanya labeled this move as a “big drama” aimed at diverting public attention from the Andhra Pradesh government’s failure to fulfill its promises, particularly in the aftermath of the devastating floods.
“The government has failed to provide a clear account of the damages and losses caused by the floods. We don’t know how many people died, how many were injured, how much crop damage occurred, or how many cattle were lost. The government has also not disclosed the full extent of its relief efforts and the number of beneficiaries,” Chaitanya said.
Chaitanya further emphasized that Kalyan’s comments on Rahul Gandhi were unwarranted, as the Congress leader has always stood for the rights of all religious communities, including Hindus. He urged Kalyan to withdraw his remarks and instead focus on addressing the pressing issues faced by the people of Andhra Pradesh.
According to the press release, the Andhra Pradesh government has failed to provide comprehensive data on the impact of the recent floods, with no clear information on the number of casualties, injuries, crop damage, or livestock losses. The government’s relief efforts and the number of affected citizens who have received aid also remain unclear.
Chaitanya called on Pawan Kalyan to prioritize the state’s development and address the concerns of the people, rather than engaging in divisive politics. He emphasized that Rahul Gandhi enjoys the support of all religious communities, including Hindus, and that Kalyan’s comments were unwarranted and unhelpful.
