Popular actor and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan on
Tuesday called for respecting cultures and languages of all regions, saying this
is a must to keep the nation united.
On the second day of his maiden
political march in Telangana, he addressed the party workers in Karimnagar town.
He said if the sentiments of a region were not respected, it might result in
public anger which in turn endangered national integration.
Stating that
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were no different, the actor-politician said that
in both the states his party would do responsible politics.
"Andhra and
Telangana are not different. I am ready to give my blood for Telangana," he
said.
Reiterating that he will not criticise other parties just for the
sake of criticism, he said the Jana Sena would study the people's problems and
try to resolve them by bringing them to the notice of the respective
governments.
"If the problems remain unresolved, then we will come out on
the streets but that will be the last resort," the actor said amid thunderous
applause from his fans.
Pawan said if Andhra Pradesh had given birth to
him, Telangana had given him a new life. "That is the reason I am launching my
political journey from here," he said.
At Kondagattu in Jagtiyal
district, Pawan on Monday launched the 'praja yatra' after worshiping at a local
temple.
It was in this town that he had a narrow escape when a
high-tension wire fell on him during campaigning in the 2009 elections. He was
then campaigning for Praja Rajyam, the party floated by his elder brother
Chiranjeevi.
Pawan said he always respected the culture and traditions of
Telangana in his films.
Defending his praise for Telangana Chief
Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, the actor said Rao played a key role in the
formation of separate Telangana and was also trying to solve people's problems.
He said he would differ with Rao when required.
Pawan urged the youth to
work to root out corruption.
Earlier, a large number of fans gathered
outside the hotel where the actor stayed for the night. Police and his private
security personnel had a tough time in controlling the crowd.
The Jana
Sena chief will continue his 'yatra' in Telangana on Wednesday. He plans to
launch the 'yatra' in Andhra Pradesh on January 27.
He has announced his
party will contest the 2019 elections in both the Telugu states.
