Pawan Kalyan at Harvard
Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan asserting that his mission in politics is only to address societal problems, said in US that during his schooling he had a lot of time to contemplate life’s problems and now it became his lifetime obsession to compare what is being said and what is being done.
Addressing the audience during the India Conference 2017 being held at Harvard Kennedy School in the US, on Sunday, he narrated his life journey stating ““I received a good beating from my teacher for raising doubts over the lack of facilities in school. Now, I am being criticised by the politicians for doing the same with regard to societal problems.”
Explaining conditions that led him into politics, he said that passiveness and divisiveness of our political system has compelled him to enter politics. “Though I entered politics to support my brother and fell out of it earlier, I have returned to approach the problem the way it should be,” the Power Star said generating a huge applause from the audience.
The actor-turn-politician giving a glimpse into his health problems and plans to commit suicide, before his tryst with yoga and martial arts, he said “My focus was not on education, my focus was on issues that plagued the society. I never wanted to be an actor. I wanted to be a yogi.” He also explained how his brother Chiranjeevi made him realise his responsibilities and make something concrete out of life when he bothered the latter with his philosophies.
He spoke for over 15 minutes during the introductory session and is expected to speak on his topic during the next session on Monday. Dressed in a grey suit and blue shirt, Pawan Kalyan had set the tone for his speech on Monday by stating that the law in India is applied weakly on the strong and strongly on the weak.
Stating that he started his education in a street school, he said while addressing the crowd on the topic ‘Emerging India-Role of Andhra Pradesh’ at John F Kennedy Junior Forum in the Harvard University, it is little difficult for him to address the audience at Harvard.
Earlier, Pawan Kalyan got a rousing welcome for his debut speech from the audience. As the management students chanted ‘Power Star, Power Star’, the Jana Sena party chief explained his political agenda and said his party stands for integrating India.
Pawan Kalyan, who is one of the chief guests along with a few other renowned personalities from various fields in India, was visibly overwhelmed by cheering from the 500-odd select audience at the Harvard as he fumbled to speak.
