Actor-turned-politician and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan appears to have decided to join hands with the Bharatiya Janata Party, rather than the Telugu Desam Party, to fight for the farmers of Amaravati capital region.
On Friday and Saturday, Pawan Kalyan had toured several parts of Amaravati region and declared that he would take up the cause of farmers.
In this regard, the Jana Sena chief reportedly expressed view that it would be better to join hands with the BJP in the fight.
“We should not give the impression that we are defending the TDP’s move to construct the capital at Amaravati. But since the project has already started, it cannot be abandoned midway. So, the best way is to fight along with the BJP to highlight the cause of farmers, rather than Amaravati project itself,” a Jana Sena leader said.
Pawan assured the farmers that he would bring the Amaravati capital issue to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah if required.
The people representing 14 different castes have given lands for capital construction and so, it did not belong to any particular community, he pointed out.
He said that he had never opposed the capital being set up in Amaravati. But he had only opposed the forceful land acquisition from farmers.
Jana Sena would not remain a mute spectator if the capital is relocated, he said adding that he would fight for the protection of interests of farmers.
Pawan Kalyan also said that Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy was behaving as YSR Congress leader but not Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
He pointed out that the landowners of Amaravati villages gave their lands for capital construction purpose but not to the TDP. Jagan should recognise the facts and make an announcement on capital city location, he said.
