Pawan's Remarks Reignite Telangana Sentiment Firestorm Telangana sentiment is suddenly back at the centre stage of the state’s politics with Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan’s comments stirring a row, drawing widespread condemnation from political parties and Telangana activists. The Jana Sena Party (JSP) leader’s press conference in Hyderabad on Wednesday was intended to clear the air after his party was denied permission to hold a public meeting earlier in the day to mark Telangana Formation Day and the demand by a Telangana Minister to apologise for his previous comments allegedly insulting Telangana. However, some of the remarks made the actor-politician appear to have added fuel to the fire. Pawan Kalyan drew the ire of many with his reported remark that ‘regionalism is worse than terrorism’ and that “if the issue is not addressed, tomorrow they may refuse to sing ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Jana Gana Mana'”. The actor-politician is also facing the backlash for his angry retort to his critics in Telangana that Telangana is not ‘jagir (fiefdom) of their father’.

Pawan Kalyan Turns Telangana Challenge Into a Political Statement Pawan Kalyan Turns Telangana Challenge Into a Political Statement Sometimes in politics, opponents end up creating the very momentum they are trying to stop. The issue began as a dispute over permission for Jana Sena’s Telangana NavaNirmana Sankalpa Sabha, eventually turned into a major political moment for Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan. If the meeting at Gachibowli had gone ahead as planned, it would likely have remained a routine party event attended largely by Jana Sena supporters. Instead, the denial of permission transformed it into a statewide political issue. By the time Pawan Kalyan addressed the media from his Jubilee Hills residence, the public of two Telugu states were curious and started watching. Pawan Kalyan made it clear that he had never spoken against Telangana or its people. He reminded critics that Jana Sena itself was born in Hyderabad and that its association with Telangana did not begin yesterday.
