Telugu Power Star, Pawan Kalyan bats for United South Bloc (Dravidanadu) to resist Centre’s neglect

[manlion]

CHENNAI: Telugu actor and Janasena Party founder Pawan Kalyan on Wednesday called upon the regional parties in the southern states to come together to overcome and resist the Centre neglecting the region.

Successive governments at the Centre have neglected the south and it is for the regional parties to come together as a bloc to force the Centre to respect their rights,” Kalyan said

Pawan Kalyan storms Chennai, says regional parties should unite

Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan conducted a press meet in Chennai on Wednesday and answered to many questions from journalists. Earlier, he was accorded a warm welcome by his fans in the capital city of Tamil Nadu.

Delivering a new political strategy, he said regional forces should unite to safeguard their interests. “South India is getting a step-motherly treatment in the hands of North Indian politicians. The bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh was a good example, as the sentiment of the people was not taken into account,” he said.

The actor-turned-politician added: “We need to change this situation; South India needs to have a greater say in national politics.”

Stating that he wanted a capital to be created in the South as was envisaged by BR Ambedkar, he said that people could decide on the city.

Pawan said: “I am not here to create a divide between North and South India; my vision is to form a collective force to take on the northern heavyweights. I feel it is going to be a coalition government in the Centre and smaller parties should have a larger say in national politics. I will soon meet leaders of like-minded parties in the South to chalk out the future strategy. However, today I am here to meet the media and my fans.”

“The southern states should create a common platform for their rights. Today, it is BJP. But what if the Congress does the same thing tomorrow? They imposed Hindi in the 1960,” he said.

South Indian parties should chart a CMP: Pawan Kalyan

The actor, who floated the party Jana Sena in 2014, was in Chennai outlining his vision for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. While he campaigned for the BJP-the Telugu Desam Party alliance in 2014 he has not yet contested in an election either in Telangana or in Andhra Pradesh. However, he firmly believes that there is a need for south Indian political parties to come together to ‘chart a common minimum programme’, while dealing with national parties.

Act as one unit

Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Kalyan said he was completely disillusioned with national parties — not just with the Bharatiya Janata Party — for the manner in which they handled the demand of special category status to Andhra Pradesh, post the bifurcation of the State.

“It is not about one party. The southern states should create a common platform for their rights. Today, it is BJP. But what if the Congress does the same thing tomorrow? They imposed Hindi in the 1960s. Southern political parties should understand where they stand on each issue and a common minimum programme should be charted out. They may have internal issues but when it comes to southern interests, it should act as one single unit. You need to have a fundamental framework,” said Mr. Kalyan.

He said the Centre dictating terms to the States was not something that the BJP had invented but that the ‘elite political class in Delhi’ had always behaved that way. “It is not new. Maybe the intensity has increased now. But I vividly remember MGR saying that ‘we have to be cautious while dealing with the Centre’. It was always like that — the elite political class in Delhi does not know anything about south India. When we say down south, it is only geographically ‘down south’. It doesn’t mean you have to look down at the south [laughs]. Do they know about the aspirations of the south? Do they understand its culture?” said Mr. Kalyan, adding, “When I refer to north India, I am only talking about the elite political class and not the average north Indian who is very tolerant and has a good understanding of cultures.”

MGR, an inspiration

He added that the root of his ‘political thought’ was formed during his decade-long stay in Chennai and Tamil Nadu.

“I was inspired by Puratchi Thalaivar MGR. I grew up here. He is a great case study to understand why other actors couldn’t sustain in politics like him,” he said.

“Though Tamil Nadu is politically separate (from Andhra)…for me, Tamil Nadu is part of my personality. And I used to think about why MGR succeeded in politics and why Sivaji Ganesan failed. I also think about the movement started by Periyar and also the LTTE movement…My thought was consolidated in this place,” he added. Mr. Kalyan asked: “How many north Indian leaders today have even travelled around the south? How can you understand the south by just talking to a few parliamentarians?”

He said he wanted to bring people together on a common platform that speaks about social justice.

What does he think about the political journeys undertaken by Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth?

“I don’t want to do films and be in politics. You cannot do justice to both. The problem is, it [politics] needs a lot of time. I hardly get time for myself,” he says.

Finally someone from south, Andhra Pradesh has spoken about Dravidian identity - "It is a unique country, an emotionally aggressive movement that has brought some to the attention of South India" - Shri Pawan Kalyan w

During his Press Conference , PK has requested all like minded regional parties to come together as a single bloc to fight against the imperialist north domination of South

Its crucial to preserve Dravidian cultural identity, and kicking out national political parties. Tamilnadu after the 60s was never under a nationalist party and hence it had resisted Hindutva imperialism. This isn't the case for Maharashtra, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, they have lost and are slowly losing their identity

Pawan Kalyan advocates 2nd national capital in South India

Training his guns on PM Modi, Pawan said that given the actions of the BJP so far how could anyone trust Modi again. He further attacked the BJP saying that people in 2014 aligned with the saffron party as they needed a leader but the party have created a sense of fear through actions like Demonetisation.

Pawan, whose party have more social media followers than any other prominent south Indian political parties, also went all out against YS Jaganmohan Reddy saying there were strong cases against Reddy and hence he lacks the moral right to take up issues on behalf of the state.

This is not the first time Pawan had taken up the issue of the north-south divide. Earlier in February, he had questioned the population-based formula for sharing tax revenues between states and asked if the Centre was going to use the ‘success of south Indian states’ against their own interests.

Speaking to reporters in Chennai, Pawan said that for the past 10 years, people from Andhra were treated as 2nd class citizens by Telangana leaders. He said that they were hurt and angry with the treatment while adding that he never had such feeling of being alienated during his stay in Tamil Nadu.
