Megastar Chiranjeevi's Praja Rajyam Party, which has hitherto been lacking the punch and vigour, has now attained the required masala in politics, with Yuvarajyam president Pawan Kalyan entering the scene and attacking the Congress.
Apparently realising that PRP president Chiranjeevi's speeches are lack-lustre and failing to attract crowds, the party think tank is understood to have advised Chiru to rope in his brother Pawan Kalyan. And that started yielding results immediately.
Right from the day one, Pawan Kalyan has set aside all the so-called ideals of his brother. While Chiru was saying he was averse to making personal criticism in politics, Pawan straightaway resorted to personal attacks against Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, his advisor KVP Ramachandra Rao, Minister Md Shabbir Ali, PCC president D Srinivas and other prominent Congress leaders that kicked up a lot of heat and dust in the State politics. On the first day, he described Shabbir Ali as "Desa Drohi" (anti-national) for supporting the ISI agents and on the next day, he changed his wordings and said the minister was "Daiva Drohi" (anti-god). Though YSR did not directly react to Pawan's statements, it triggered wide spread reaction from the PCC and CLP offices.
And that was what Pawan wanted. He knows that the more he evokes such a reaction from rivals, the more will be PRP in the news. Pawan went a step further to display his aggressive posture, saying he was prepared to face even AK-47 bullets and attacks from the Congress workers, but would stick to his comments. "I am willing to go to jail even and face the lathi blows for the sake of the people. But I will continue to expose these corrupt Congress leaders," he said.
And it made the things easy for Chiranjeevi. He supported his brother saying there was nothing wrong in his observations. Looks like Chiru and Pawan have learnt the tricks of trade in politics!
