Speaking to a TV channel after his Guntur speech, Pawan Kalyan said that money is not the only factor that determines political success.  "If that were the case, any rich man should find it easy to assume power.  Ideology, too, matters a lot," the Jana Sena leader said.

In how many seats will JS contest in 2019?  "It will be decided organically.  Let it evolve.  These are not the things to be discussed in front of the TV camera," Pawan replied.

What about the allegation that he is acting as per BJP's direction?  Till recently, he was allegedly doing TDP's bidding.  "If your views are not convenient, people will say what they want to say," Power Star said in short.

He agreed with the host's view that Chiranjeevi was painted a casteist by his opponents.  Isn't Pawan too facing similar criticisms?  "I will respond only if some top political leader makes such an allegation against me," he said.

He refused to answer on the specifics, saying that he was not prepared for the interview.  "I have come here for a small chit-chat.  I will definitely talk about issues later," he assured.
