The political rivalry between former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has taken a new turn after Jagan’s latest remark about Pawan. Known for his occasional jibes at the Janasena Party chief, Jagan once again targeted him, this time calling him “Corporater Ki Ekkuva, MLA Ki Thakkuva.”The comment, which was intended to belittle Pawan Kalyan’s political stature, quickly sparked outrage among Janasena supporters, leading to a flurry of counterattacks on social media and in political circles. The phrase has become a hot topic in Andhra Pradesh's political discourse, with Janasainiks aggressively pushing back against Jagan’s remarks.
 

Janasena’s Retaliation: Social Media Erupts

Not one to stay silent, Janasena leaders and supporters were quick to clap back at Jagan’s statement. Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar delivered a sharp counter, referring to Jagan as “Kodi Kathi ki ekkuva, Goddali ki thakkuva”—a direct reference to the infamous Kodi Kathi and Babai Goddali incidents involving Jagan in the past.This retaliation set off a chain reaction, with Janasena supporters flooding social media with satirical posts aimed at Jagan. Many mocked Jagan’s political standing, calling him “MLA Ki ekkuva, Opposition leader Ki Thakkuva”, pointing out that he is currently just an MLA from Pulivendula, while Pawan Kalyan holds a higher political position as Deputy Chief Minister.Several political analysts and commentators have also weighed in on the issue, questioning the audacity of Jagan to insult Pawan Kalyan, despite the latter’s more significant role in the state’s governance.

Meanwhile, Jagan’s remarks suggest that he views Janasena’s rise as a serious challenge.As the political heat continues to rise, all eyes will be on how both parties strategize their next moves in the run-up to the elections. Will Pawan Kalyan officially respond to Jagan’s remarks, or will he let his supporters handle the counterattacks? One thing is clear—this war of words is far from over.
