Hyderabad: Actor Prakash Raj questioned Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena president Pawan Kalyan’s recent announcement that his party would continue contesting elections in Telangana, prompting a sharp response from actor Bandla Ganesh.
In a post on X, Prakash Raj welcomed Pawan Kalyan’s decision to contest in Telangana but sought clarification on whether the party would contest independently or in alliance with others. “Please come, but tell me this. Will you be contesting for namesake, independently or in alliance?” he asked, which quickly drew sharp reactions from Pawan Kalyan’s supporters.
Bandla Ganesh responded with a personal attack on Prakash Raj, questioning his nativity and accusing him of commenting on every public issue unnecessarily. “Are you a Tamilian, a Telugu or a Kannadiga? Are you a Collector or a Prime Minister to intervene in every issue? Know your own address before trying to change the world,” he said.
He also suggested that the actor should focus on his own life instead of trying to judge every political development.
