The ongoing social media campaign targeting megastar Chiranjeevi over his comments on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party president N. Chandrababu Naidu has stirred unease within the Jana Sena Party, headed by his brother and deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan.
Guntur district Jana Sena Party president Gade Venkateswara Rao alleged on Monday that the criticism was politically motivated, suggesting that TDP supporters might be behind the negative campaign. He accused certain groups of deliberately spreading misinformation and cautioned against provocative commentary.
“Everyone knows who is behind these campaigns. We are maintaining restraint only because of coalition dharma,” Venkateswara Rao said, urging critics to avoid inflammatory remarks.
The controversy arose from Chiranjeevi’s remarks at the Gaddar Awards in Hyderabad, where he suggested that Andhra Pradesh could do more to support the film industry and recommended hosting state-level film award events. Defending Chiranjeevi, Venkateswara Rao emphasized that there was nothing objectionable in referring to Andhra Pradesh as a “neighboring state” or offering constructive suggestions for the development of the film sector.
He also reminded critics of the party’s past sacrifices, stating, “When Pawan Kalyan called us to action, we responded and even faced legal cases. Where were these critics then?” While reaffirming commitment to alliance discipline under Pawan Kalyan, he stressed that defamatory campaigns would not be tolerated. “Being in an alliance does not mean we will remain silent on every issue,” he added.
