Film star and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan hits out at the political spectrum by saying instead of targeting the film industry they should help the flood-affected areas.
He said during elections MLA’s MP spends hundreds of crores, so why can’t they open their purse strings and donate at a time of economic distress. Meanwhile Pawan Kalyan donated Rs 1 crore in Telangana CM relief fund to help the flood-hit victims.
“If a film makes Rs 1 Cr, at most, Rs 58 lakh is what is shared among the stakeholders. The rest of it all goes up in the form of taxes. During elections, each MLA and MP candidate (of major parties) spends hundreds of crores. Why can’t they open their purse strings and donate, say, Rs 50 Cr at a time like this when economic distress is widespread? Contractors, etc. have got thousands of crores with them. Why are demands not placed on them for donations?” the ‘Vakeel Saab’ actor asked, turning into people’s ‘vakeel saab’.
Pawan also appreciated Akshay Kumar for donating Rs25 crores to PM-CARES and pitching every politicians to help the nation in a time of crisis.
