Union minister K Chiranjeevi’s brother and film actor Pawan Kalyan launched his political party, Jana Sena (people’s army), at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC) here on Friday.
Addressing his followers on the occasion, Pawan, as he is popularly known, said he was not after power or positions but vexed at “seeing spineless politicians” who could not raise their voice against the Congress high command.
He was also not against his elder brother Chiranjeevi but was agitated at the way the Congress high command had bifurcated the state.
Pawan’s managers had made elaborate arrangements for broadcasting his address. Giant screens were set up in major towns and cities across the state so that his fans could witness the live telecast of the the party’s launch.
Police had a tough time in controlling the actor’s fans who thronged the HICC premises in large numbers. They had to even resort to cane charge to disperse the crowd, who tried to enter HICC without passes.
