Pawan Kalyan, the Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister, has accused the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) of divisiveness, saying they are trying to damage the country.
In a meeting with his party members, Pawan Kalyan criticized the 'small minds' supporting the CJP, saying they are using divisiveness to weaken the country's integrity.
His comments come a day after Prakash Raj, a co-star and supporter of the CJP, spoke about the need for change and criticized Pawan Kalyan for his stance on the CJP.
Pawan Kalyan also drew an analogy with a cockroach, saying that just as a tiny creature can kill a powerful snake, people with small minds can have a strong effect on the country.
The two actors have been vocal about their political differences, with Prakash Raj supporting the CJP and Pawan Kalyan criticizing it.
