Tollywood actor Posani Krishna Murali has launched a scathing attack on Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan, criticizing his remarks about the volunteer system and accusing him of blindly trusting the TDP. Posani asserted that the TDP played a pivotal role in Pawan Kalyan's defeat in the 2019 AP assembly elections in Bhimavaram. According to him, the TDP spent a staggering amount of Rs. 15 crores to ensure Kalyan's failure. Posani emphasized that had Pawan Kalyan has been aware of this fact, victory would have come easily to him. Posani strongly condemned the usage of the term "trafficking" by Pawan Kalyan, deeming it outrageous. He pointed out that among the volunteers, there were numerous girls. He further demanded Pawan Kalyan to tender an apology to the volunteers.
