Why should I apologize to my Telangana?: Pawan
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,March 14 2014]
While launching his party, Pawan Kalyan said that he canÂt be expected to apologize to Telanganites. ÂWhy should I apologize to my own Telangana people? he emotionally asked.
He quoted TRS leader KavithaÂs statement and said that he learnt about KavithaÂs demand by reading todayÂs newspaper.
He said that he has always felt sad about being referred to as ÂAndha vaduÂ. He shared two anecdotes from his life when certain people distanced themselves from him on the basis of regional identity.
I quarrelled with Trivikram:
Contrary to what may have been anticipating, Trivikram Srinivas may not play any role in the newly-floated party of Pawan Kalyan.
 I have not talked about my political entry even with my family members.
Pawan laces his speech with anecdotes:
Pawan Kalyan, true to his style, laced his lengthy speech with anecdotes. When he was seated in his office before the launch of PRP, he said, an old man lashed him out angrily by referring to him as a looter from Andhra region.
ÂI am not here to make a provocative speech. When the old man issued barbs against me, I was silent because I knew that he had nothing personal against me. Such anger was manifestation of the anger at decades-old neglect of the Telangana region, he said.
Pawan imbues his speech in literary ink:
Pawan Kalyan imbued his lengthy speech in literary ink. Invoking the names of Potana, Sri Sri, balladeer Gaddar, etc, he said that they canÂt be compared.
He loudly sang a song written by Gaddar and recounted an incident from his past. ÂI danced to his songs among the audience decades ago, he said.
