Film actor-turned politician hints at contesting in Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in Telangana
Jana Sena Party (JSP) chief K Pawan Kalyan said his party will contest in seven to 14 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana in the next elections.
“We will be ready for pre-poll alliances with other political parties, including the BJP, if such electoral pacts are in line with our party’s ideology and serve the best interests of people of Telangana,” the actor-turned-politician said.
He was speaking at a meeting of the JSP State-level leaders and functionaries at a resort in Nachupalli near Kondagattu after performing pujas for his specially designed campaign vehicle ‘Varahi’ at the famous hill shrine in Jagtial district on Tuesday.
The Kondagattu hill shrine turned into a sea of humanity with hordes of fans of Mr Pawan gathered at the famous pilgrim centre to catch a glimpse of him and “Varahi” to be used by Mr. Pawan to tour the length and breadth of Andhra Pradesh soon.
His formidable campaign vehicle of Emerald Green colour, bearing registration number TS 13 EX 8384, sporting advanced security features has become cynosure of all eyes as devotees vied with each other to click pictures of it on their mobile phone cameras.
At the meeting, Mr. Pawan recalled that he had narrowly escaped from a major accident during his tour of the old undivided Karimnagar district more than a decade ago due to the blessings of Lord Anjanna (Hanuman), the presiding deity of Kondagattu.
“I owe a lot to Telangana where the JSP came into being in the revolutionary land of Telangana. The historic struggles waged by people of Telangana are a source of inspiration to fight for the cause of poor and downtrodden sections of the society,” he said.
