Ongole: If one had watched Attarintiki Daaredi or if one is a fan of Pawan Kalyan, one will know of the character Siddappa. In the film, the dialogues between the character of Pawan Kalyan and Siddappa had become very popular at the time of film's release.
Tweaking a popular dialogue from the film, Sahiti Sravanthi's state head Telakapalli Ravi had said that 'choodappa Siddappa... unte rajakiyallo undu, ledante cinemalu chesuko'.
Talking to media in Ongole, Ravi had said that Pawan Kalyan's behaviour was hard to decipher and he pointed out that no one could make out who Pawan was questioning finally.
While Pawan maintained that he did want to be Chandra Babu's guest, he has been behaving like a guest artiste for Babu, alleged Ravi.
He further added that thanks to Pawan, the respect that people had for politicians came down pretty low. Though there is no special status, no special package, Pawan is still saying that he will look into it if they are not given, which is a huge farce opined Ravi.
Telakapalli Ravi also took the opportunity to address the issue of Andhra Pradesh being turned into a state-sponsored corporate city run by Singaporeans by Chandra Babu.
Though Babu never cared about the original city of Amaravathi, he is now talking of building 21 new cities around it, which will result in gross negligence of Rayalaseema region said the Sahiti Sravanthi head.
Just by claiming that he was Rayalaseema bidda in Rayalaseema does not make any difference to the situation there, said Ravi.
On the other hand, their poll partners BJP too haven't learnt their lessons from the debacle in Bihar, said Ravi. The BJP is blatantly hinting that they are corporate-friendly, by allowing FDI in media just as Babu is creating a corporate friendly capital city, alleged Ravi.
Ravi also touched upon the contentious issue of intolerance and pointed that it was not right to create a controversy over the anniversary celebrations of Tippu Sultan in Karnataka.
Similarly, both CMs of Telugu states keeping their silence over the much-debated intolerance issue is worrisome, he said.
While pointing out that bringing up the name of Vishwanadha kavi in a controversial manner was not appropriate, he suggested that a secularist poet like Gurajada Apparao's birth anniversary must be celebrated in a big way.
