Telugu actor/politician Pawan Kalyan meets Narendra Modi

Gandhinagar, 21 March 2014

Jana Sena party founder and Telugu film actor Pawan Kalyan today afternoon met BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in Gandhinagar. At Ahmedabad airport he said he visited Modi to show support and solidarity. Pawan said he wants Modi to become PM.

Kalyan, the youngest brother of Union Minister of State for Tourism K Chiranjeevi, launched Jana Sena here on March 14 with the call “Congress hatao desh bachao,” echoing what Modi had been campaigning for over the past few months.

The actor-turned-politician also said he was ready to join hands with any party to oust Congress from power.

Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu had invited Kalyan to join hands with him in the endeavour even as speculation did the rounds in the state that TDP-BJP-Jana Sena alliance might happen soon.

Going by talk in political circles in Hyderabad, Kalyan could have discussed the alliance proposal with Modi.

Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi said he would have to treat his youngest brother as a “political rival”.

“As a brother, my blessings will always be there for Kalyan, but as a political leader, he will be treated as any other rival,” Chiranjeevi said in Hyderabad yesterday.

Kalyan, like any other person, too would have thoughts and emotions towards the society.

“We should not restrain anyone from expressing their emotions,” Chiranjeevi remarked.
