YSR Congress party Guntur district president and former minister Ambati Rambabu strongly criticised deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, stating that his recent speeches are strange, aggressive, and confusing, aimed not at governance but at protecting chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
Speaking to reporters at the party office, Ambati said Pawan Kalyan begins with overaction, turns irritated midway, and ends in complete confusion, to the extent that neither he nor the audience understands what he is saying.
He objected to the deputy CM using threatening and abusive language against YSRCP and its leadership despite the party not targeting him in any manner, and questioned why such “rowdy language” is being used by someone holding a constitutional post.
Ambati wondered why Pawan Kalyan was speaking in such an aggressive tone against Jagan for saying that those involved in the government medical colleges privatisation scam will be punished through lawful investigation once the party returns to power.
He alleged that Chandrababu Naidu is attempting to privatise government medical colleges, valuable public assets meant for the poor, and hand them over to his close associates, and that this move triggered a massive public response, with over one crore people signing against the decision and the memoranda being submitted to the Governor.
He questioned whether Pawan Kalyan himself has a stake in this scam, stating that his aggression suggests personal involvement.
He accused Pawan Kalyan of deliberately diverting attention from serious governance failures by attacking YSRCP, while remaining silent on corruption allegations involving Chandrababu Naidu and Lokesh.
He questioned whether Pawan Kalyan could swear that Chandrababu Naidu and Lokesh have no role in corruption, saying he would apologise if such an oath were taken.
Ambati also raised questions about continuing ration rice smuggling through Kakinada Port, paid transfers, and the sudden expansion of Jana Sena Party assets, demanding transparency on the source of funds.
He said Pawan Kalyan appears politically weakened within the coalition, reduced to seeking assurances for posts, while continuing to abuse YSRCP leadership. Condemning threats and violent rhetoric, Ambati Rambabu asserted that democracy does not allow intimidation and warned that no one can stop YSRCP from returning to power if the people decide so.
