Amaravati, May 12 (). Actor and politician Pawan Kalyan on Thursday indicated that he has ambitions to become the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh.
Citing the example of Karnataka, JD-S leader H.D. Kumaraswamy became the chief minister by winning only 30 assembly seats, the Jana Sena party leader said that if the people had given him 40 seats in 2019, he too would have demanded the chief minister’s post.
Talking to reporters at the JSP office in Mangalagiri here, the actor-politician said that if he wanted to become the chief minister, he would not hesitate to say so.
He made it clear that he would not ask the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) or the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to make him the chief minister. I will show my strength and ask.
Pawan’s party, which had forged an alliance with the Left parties and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in the 2019 elections, could win just one seat in the 175-member assembly. The actor himself lost on both the seats he contested.
He made it clear on Thursday that the JSP was looking for an alliance with major parties to end the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) rule.
