Kethireddy Comments on Jagan, Pawan Kalyan, Chiranjeevi, and Balakrishna
YSR Congress Party leader and former Dharmavaram MLA Kethireddy Venkatarami Reddy made striking comments about Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, Pawan Kalyan, Chiranjeevi, and Balakrishna. He asserted that only two individuals in Andhra Pradesh have significant public followings—Jagan Mohan Reddy in politics and Pawan Kalyan in the film industry. Kethireddy claimed that if either of them appeared in public, a crowd of 10,000 people would gather within 10 minutes, attributing this to people's admiration for them.
He also criticized Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, alleging that his political success is entirely based on "management" rather than genuine public support.
Speaking about Nandamuri Balakrishna, Kethireddy remarked that he has won three consecutive terms as an MLA only because he represents the Hindupur constituency. He claimed that if Balakrishna contested from Gudivada, he would not be able to secure three consecutive victories.
Referring to Megastar Chiranjeevi’s political journey, Kethireddy pointed out that when the actor-turned-politician contested from two constituencies, he won in Tirupati but lost in his home constituency of Palakollu.
