Pawan Kalyan gives final clarity on Paritala rumors

One of the widely publicised rumor in public domain is that Parital Ravi, the slain faction leader from Ananthapur, took Pawan Kalyan to his home and shaved his head when Powerstar threatened one of his aides. Today Pawan Kalyan voluntarily gave clarification regarding this.

"This rumor is spread by Telugu Desam party back then. Despite this malicious act by TDP guys, I lent my support during the last elections because I felt Chandrababu Naidu was better option at that time. I didn't meet or know Paritala back then. Since photos of my clean-shaven head appeared in media at that time, TDP indulged in such rumor. I did shave my head to cool off from mental tensions then as my films were flopping off," Pawan Kalyan said this at Janasena meet in Vijayawada. He spoke at length castiest feelings  in Andhra society. He urged his fans and karyakartas not to show casteism.

"In Telangana, no one cares about other's caste. They do love their castes but don't build relations on that. But in Andhra, people bond friendship, relationship and admiration towards one person based on caste. Unless we come out of this mindset, we don't progress," he said.
