Jana Sena president Pawan Kalyan lambasted the YSRCP government for stoking caste divisions in the lush Konaseema region. Speaking at a public gathering during the Varahi Vijayabheri event in Malikipuram, Konaseema district, Kalyan criticized the selective enforcement of the law, highlighting instances where actions were swift against minor offenses while major transgressions went unpunished. Promising to enhance Konaseema’s tourism potential with a new train connection once the coalition government assumes power, Kalyan pledged to tackle corruption, particularly targeting MLA Rapaka Varaprasad for alleged misconduct in land allocation to the underprivileged.
Accusing Varaprasad of constructing houses on privately owned land using government funds, Kalyan vowed to hold corrupt officials accountable once the NDA government is in office. He also condemned the misuse of laws like the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act to suppress dissenting voices and harass individuals advocating for a capital city. Asserting his resilience against intimidation tactics employed by political adversaries like Jagan, Kalyan vowed to confront challenges head-on and expose wrongdoings, emphasizing his commitment to justice and accountability.
