No Restrictions On Pawan Kalyan In Telangana Revanth

Telangana and holding public meetings in the state.

During an informal interaction with reporters in New Delhi, Revanth Reddy said the police had denied permission for Pawan Kalyan’s public meeting on June 2, Telangana Formation Day, only to prevent possible law-and-order problems following an exchange of words between Jana Sena leaders and Telangana groups.

Revanth Reddy stated that he had no personal or political differences with Pawan Kalyan and emphasised that Telangana remained open to all political parties and leaders.

“Anyone is free to do politics in Telangana. Pawan Kalyan enjoys complete freedom in the state and can pursue political activities as he wishes,” the Chief Minister said.

He reiterated that every political leader, including Pawan Kalyan, had the right to contest elections and undertake political activities in Telangana.

Clarifying the government’s position on the June 2 rally, Revanth Reddy said the police decision had been taken purely from a law-and-order perspective and that there were no political considerations behind it.

The Chief Minister also addressed criticism directed at him by Jana Sena leaders. He said Telangana ministers had responded only because Pawan Kalyan had allegedly made remarks that went against the interests of the state’s people.

Refuting allegations that he had described Adolf Hitler as his role model, Revanth Reddy questioned how anyone committed to democracy could cite Hitler as an inspiration.

“I only said that Hitler’s core team was called Hydra, and I used it merely as a metaphor. I never said that I would follow Hitler’s ideology,” he said.

Continuing his criticism of the BJP, Revanth Reddy sarcastically remarked that the party appeared to draw inspiration not only from Nathuram Godse but also from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

He accused the BJP of indulging in “vote theft” and “seat theft” and cited political developments in Madhya Pradesh as evidence of what he described as the party’s undemocratic tendencies.

The Chief Minister also launched a fresh attack on the BJP-led Central government, accusing it of discriminating against Telangana.

He alleged that Union Minister G Kishan Reddy was acting according to the directions of BRS working president K T Rama Rao and was responsible for delays in securing funds for several state projects.

Revanth Reddy claimed that Kishan Reddy had obstructed the Regional Ring Road project and questioned why the Union Minister had not engaged with the Maharashtra government over the Tummidihatti project.

He also asked whether Kishan Reddy had ever raised Telangana’s concerns directly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
