Actor-turned-politician Roja has earned a good name during her cinema career. She garnered good popularity in politics too with her acerbic tongue taking pot shots at leaders of the ruling TDP. No doubt she is firebrand of the YSR Congress.
While YSRCP Chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy is chanting the name of AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, Roja too started chanting the name of Pawan Kalyan ever since the latter organised public meetings in Tirupati and Kakinada.
Rather speaking on the special status issue during a protest programme in Tirupati on Thursday, she continuously spoke on Pawan Kalyan. “If Pawan Kalyan wanted to foray in politics, he should enter in a full-fledged manner like the way Telugu Desam founder NT Rama Rao did, she advised.
“Extending support to the TDP-BJP alliance by holding a public meeting and one press conference a year is not politics,” she said referring to Pawan Kalyan. She even challenged the Jana Sena leader to shun his interest in cinema and enter politics full time.
She also pointed out that Pawan is also answerable to the people on the promises made by the TDP-BJP poll alliance just before the 2014 elections.
Since the TDP failed to implement the poll promises in Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan should come out of it. Roja asked Pawan to fight for the people like ‘Komaram Puli’, rather behaving like a puppet to AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. She called upon Pawan Kalyan to fight for the implementation of the promises made by Naidu.
It is evident from the remarks that Roja is trying to provoke Pawan every time she face press persons. She is making remarks against Pawan because the latter had been responding to Roja’s remarks.
She could not gain much mileage by making remarks against Pawan, however, she has to sustain in the YSRCP by relying on her tongue.
She created history in Indian politics after being suspended from the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly for one year when she made serious allegations and criticism against Naidu. Later, she was reprimanded by the High Court and the Supreme Court too for her remarks in the House.
