Janasena Chief, Pawan Kalyan political character will be put to test in the coming few weeks, given his tour in Srikakulam on February 21st.As soon as he announced his Srikakulam Tour in support of the Fisherman community, Tribal welfare organizations and groups expressed their dissatisfaction over the Janasena Chief.
The Adivasi Aikhya Vedika called for the ‘Aadivasi Godu (Tribal Cry) Mahasabha’ and Chalo Srikakulam in a bid to oppose and protest against Pawan Kalyan’s Srikakulam Tour.
‘It is imprudent, irrational and foolish of Pawan Kalyanasking government to announce reservations to the Fisherman community under ST. We will not allow him to tour in Srikakulam. We will oppose, protest and fight against him if he chooses to come here,’ said the representatives of the ‘Aadivasi Aikhya Vedika’ organization. Adding to this, the tribal welfare organization also called for a statewide strike (bandh) in tribal regions.
Speaking at the press meet, the president of Aadivasi Aikhya Vedika questioned Pawan Kalyan’s silence over Tribal community all this while. ‘Why isn’t Pawan Kalyan talking about various other issues promised by TDP in their manifesto? Why is he not talking about the Tribal community? We don’t have any nominated heads for GCC and other Tribal welfare programs from the Tribal community’.
The welfare organization also called for burning effigy of Pawan Kalyan on February 15th in Srikakulam.
