Pawan Kalyan has no moral right to speak on VSP: MLA Gudivada
The MLA said there was no sanctity to Pawan's words and the people are not going to trust him
Visakhapatnam: Anakapalli MLA Gudivada Amarnath of the YSRC said Jana Sena leader Pawan Kalyan has no moral right to speak on the Visakha Steel Plant (VSP) as his party is sailing with the BJP, whose government at the Centre is privatizing the plant.
He claimed that the entire state has been fighting against VSP privatization for the past 260 days. “Pawan was never a part of this agitation. Pawan, rather, carried the BJP agenda in a recent meeting and criticised the state government on this issue without any basis,” he said.
The MLA said there was no sanctity to Pawan’s words and the people are not going to trust him. He has already got himself tagged as a package star.
Amarnath criticised Pawan for not questioning the BJP over the privatization of VSP and asked why the actor was supporting BJP even as he had once slammed the special package announced by the BJP government for AP by comparing it with rotten laddus. Pawan supported the BJP in the Tirupati and Badvel by-elections, the MLA noted.
He said Pawan’s criticism of VSP privatization was no more than a political stunt to bluff the people. “Pawan Kalyan is an unstable person, who had sternly opposed the fight against VSP privatization and now started holding meetings against the privatization.”
Amarnath said the YSRC has always been opposing the privatization of VSP. Chief minister Jagan had held talks with employee unions and passed a resolution in the state assembly. Also, the CM wrote to the PM twice, urging him to reconsider the decision and suggested alternative steps, he said.
