Pawan Kalyan Takes On Ally TDP, Has A Warning For Andhra Home Minister

Hyderabad: 

Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has taken on ally Telugu Desam Party’s Home Minister Anitha, accusing her of incompetence. He warned that unless there is improvement, he would be forced to “take over the home department as well”.

His warning came as crimes against women in the state saw a spike. After a three-year-old was sexually assaulted yesterday, the actor-politician said “peace and security has markedly deteriorated in Andhra Pradesh” and law and order has to be handled the way it is done in Yogi Adityanath’s Uttar Pradesh. 

“I am telling home minister Anitha too. You are the Home Minister. I am the Panchayati Raj minister, Forest and Environment minister. Discharge your duties well or I will be forced to take over home department as well,” he said at a rally in his constituency Pithapuram.
