The Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders held surprise protests in Hyderabad in front of Pawan Kalyan’s residence and office. They demanded withdrawal of certain remarks allegedly made by Jana Senani insulting martyrs and hurting the Telangana people’s sentiments. They also made a police complaint at Jubilee Hills. However, Pawan stuck to his stand and tried hard to defend his statement.
Jana Sena Party Tweeted clarification in which Pawan asserted the fact that the then regime tried to use total prohibition to suppress the Telangana Armed Struggle. But that strategy did not work out as it would always be very difficult to implement prohibition in the field level. Senani said that this could be ascertained from the historical records available on the Armed Struggle.
Pawan made these comments on liquid ban in view of the Jagan Reddy government’s move to implement prohibition in Andhra. He is on a tour in East Godavari district. He has been criticising YCP on sand shortage and other issues. He has got good relations with the TRS leaders. Political circles are surprised at the TRS protests over some casual remarks.
