Sakshi has highlighted the controversy over Balakrishna’s comments in the Assembly. While he used unpleasant language, it is unclear if Chiranjeevi was the target. Chiranjeevi expressed hurt and released a press note, but the focus remains on him and Pawan Kalyan’s silence.
The newspaper questioned Pawan Kalyan’s response, publishing an article titled “Silence…Gambheera”. It suggested that Chiranjeevi fans and Kapu Associations were upset, while little attention was given to Balakrishna calling Jagan a “Psycho Gadu”. Coverage seems politically selective to gain mileage.
Chiranjeevi issued a clarification to help YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, but Sakshi continues to prolong the issue. There was minimal coverage of Balakrishna’s comments on Jagan, and no response came from Jagan’s family members. Bharathi, Sharmila, and Vijaya Lakshmi stayed silent.
YSR Congress appears to be using this controversy to create tension between alliance partners. Despite the political noise, Chandrababu Naidu, Pawan Kalyan, and Lokesh continue to cooperate. Their focus remains on maintaining the alliance’s unity above distractions.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu visited Pawan Kalyan in Hyderabad. He checked on the Deputy CM’s health, who had been down with a fever for five days. The visit underlined solidarity despite ongoing political controversies.
