Andhra Jyothy carried a banner story today mentioning that KCR offered a Rs 1000 Cr package to Pawan Kalyan to switch his loyalties from TDP to BRS.
The article mentions that if TDP constets in Telangana all Kammas would vote for that party. So to cover up the loss, KCR planned to pull Kapu votes using Pawan Kalyan, as Kapu voters are more than Kamma voters in Telangana.
The article also articulates that KCR's people started to indoctrinate Pawan Kalyan to negotiate for CM's chair with CBN.
Observing this, a senior Kapu leader reprimanded Pawan Kalyan to keep himself in control without getting lured by fancy offers. It seems he was also told that he reminded Pawan Kalyan that even Chiranjeevi couldn't come to power with his PRP despite Pawan Kalyan's support.
Many people are coming out with their opinions on social media followed by this news. Here are a few:
A post says- "This article in Andhra Jyothy might certainly have a background. There was a rumor some time back that Pawan Kalyan while talking to his friends was chiding the padayatra of Lokesh and saying that the real impact of the political tour will be shown to the people with his 'Vaarahi Yatra'. This might have gone to Chandrababu as well who might have lamented with Radha Krishna. Like Kattappa for Bahubali, our Radhakrishna might have carried this Rs 1000 Cr article to keep Pawan Kalyan in control by giving a threat".
"Radhakrishna is an unintelligent fellow. He published this gossip assuming that he is creating trouble for BRS. But unknowingly he is digging a deep pit for TDP. If at all TDP dies, the credit goes to ABN Radhakrishna than anyone else. He's the reason for all hatred surrounding the party", says another post on FB.
Another social media handle mentions- "KCR dropping a Rs 1000 Cr net on Pawan Kalyan can be entertaining. But mentioning that a senior Kapu leader brainwashed Pawan Kalyan in order not to get lured for that deal is nothing but putting PK in bad light. This article clearly mentions PK got lured and wanted to switch the loyalties. This certainly infuriates the Kapus, Janasainiks and Pawan fans for sure".
Here is an opinion that is something different- "Is there any need for KCR to take the help of Pawan Kalyan in Telangana? This entire news is a cock and bull story. AndhraJyothy should be renamed as 'Kattukathala Jyothy'. Everything is trash".
A post also goes like this- "With this article Radhakrishna confirmed that Pawan Kalyan is a package star. This is highly condemnable by Janasainiks and highly commendable by YSRCP supporters. Either way, it is a death blow for TDP".
This is another post- "Pawan Kalyan showing his slipper said that he would slap with that if anyone calls him a Package Star. If he can really stand by that word , what should he do to RK?"
On the whole, on the political front this has become the hot topic of discussion on social media.
