YSR Congress party on Friday lashed out at Jana Sena Party chief and deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan for making fun of former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy’s decision to stay away from the assembly sessions for being denied the leader of opposition status.
Earlier in the day, Pawan Kalyan made a sarcastic comment on Jagan’s decision to abstain from the assembly proceedings, saying: “I don’t know whether the YSRCP has its own Constitution. As far as I know, the Constitution drafted by Ambedkar calls for MLAs attending the assembly to raise the people’s issues.”
Reacting to Pawan’s comments, YSRCP clarified that Jagan’s politics and decisions are firmly rooted in Ambedkar’s Constitution, unlike the coalition government which functions under a Red Book mindset.
YSRCP spokesperson Vangaveeti Narendra said the Jana Sena Party chief must first understand and respect the Constitution written by Dr B R Ambedkar.
“While Pawan claims to have read many books, his political conduct shows confusion, treating the Red Book as if it were the Constitution,” he said.
Narendra questioned under which Constitution Jana Sena cadres in Machilipatnam brutally attacked a small trader, Giri, who had only asked about Pawan’s unfulfilled promises.
“The cadres, led by local leaders, destroyed his shop, assaulted him, and forced him to kneel and record an apology,” he said.
Narendra reminded that Pawan once promised justice in cases like Sugali Preethi and pledged to trace 33,000 missing girls, yet has failed to act after coming to power. Instead, his party workers are intimidating ordinary citizens.
“Jagan, who values the Constitution, sought recognition of Opposition status in the assembly and even moved the high court. Pawan should explain why the Speaker’s office has not yet filed the required counter. People clearly see who upholds constitutional values and who tramples them,” he said.
