Some leaders of the ruling party in Andhra Pradesh, including Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, have been ridiculing Pawan Kalyan, who is known as ‘power star’ in Tollywood and reportedly termed him a ‘package star’, alleging that he takes ‘packages’ from parties like Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP). What did Pawan Kalyan say? Intensifying his attack against YSRCP leaders, Pawan Kalyan used said that it was his patience which had saved them all till now. “You have so far seen only my patience … You just call for war. Do you want to come with rods or stones or hockey sticks or bare hands?” he challenged Reddy’s party.

“Who are the idiots who call them ‘packages’? I will beat them up badly with my slippers, each of these YSRCP guys, till their jaws are swollen and teeth fall off…. Do you think I can’t abuse?” he added. Responding of YSRCP’s allegations of his income sources, Pawan Kalyan said: “When I purchased a Scorpio, they asked who gave me the money for it. I did six films in the last eight years. I earned Rs 100 crore to Rs 120 crore and paid Rs 33.37 crore in taxes.” He further said that he donated his children’s fixed deposit to the party and donated Rs 12 crore for the chief minister’s relief funds in both the states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana). “I gave Rs 30 lakh for the Ram temple at Ayodhya,” he added. On Monday, Pawan Kalyan said ‘YSRC-free Andhra Pradesh’ would be his party’s call for the 2024 elections.
