What is the dispute between YSRCP and JanaSena?

The war of words between the ruling YSR Congress Party and Janasena continued till yesterday when Pawan Kalyan slammed the YSRCP government and its leaders at the pre-Republic rally on Saturday evening. Minister Vellampalli Srinivas on Sunday expressed his displeasure with Pawan Kalyan and warned that they would not spare anyone who speaks against YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

During the pre-release event of the film ‘Republic’, actor Pawan Kalyan left no stone unturned in criticising the Andhra Pradesh government’s attitude towards the Telugu film industry and its alleged harassment of Tollywood actors due to political differences.

While his comments on the Andhra government became the talk of the town, he also received support from actors like Nani and Kartikeya Gummakonda. However, it looks like the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, the umbrella body of the industry in both the Telugu states, has distanced itself from Pawan Kalyan's comments.
