Minister Ambati's Controversial Remarks on Pawan Kalyan and Nadendla Manohar
Andhra Pradesh Minister Ambati Rambabu made controversial remarks about Janasena party chief Pawan Kalyan and key party figure Nadendla Manohar. Ambati alleged that Nadendla Manohar is like a fourth wife to Pawan Kalyan, following Pawan's statement about toppling Jagan to the underworld. Ambati questioned whether Pawan's birthgivers would need to return for that to happen, leaving the judgment of who is greater, Pawan or Jagan, to the Janasainiks.
Ambati expressed respect for Pawan Kalyan as a good actor but criticized his suitability for politics, mocking him for quoting nonsensical movie dialogues and accusing him of engaging in cheap blackmailing. He likened trusting Pawan to holding a dog's tail and trying to swim across the Godavari River. Ambati also questioned Pawan's empathy, citing his reported sadness over Chandrababu Naidu's jail time but ignoring the pain from Vangaveeti Ranga's murder and the harassment of Mudragada.
