Jana Sena Party chief and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has launched a sharp attack on Congress leaders in Telangana amid a row over his proposed public engagement in Hyderabad. The controversy began after Telangana Police denied permission for the Telangana Nava Nirman Sabha planned by Jana Sena, following which the party moved the Telangana High Court but did not receive relief. Pawan Kalyan later said he would address the media from his residence in Jubilee Hills. Responding to criticism from Congress MLC Addanki Dayakar, he questioned objections to his presence in Hyderabad and accused some leaders of behaving like “separatists,” while urging national Congress leadership to respond and stressing that people across India should be able to move freely without discrimination.
