Was it true?
The reality was reportedly quite different. According to information gathered from the location, police who were monitoring the situation at the polling station reportedly directed Pawan Kalyan to enter the booth due to security issues.
An eye witnessed said when Mr. Kalyan landed at the polling station, he was surrounded by a bunch of voters trying to take Selfies. The security didn’t want to create any sort of disturbance, therefore they directed Mr. Kalyan to enter the polling station.
Reacting to the news, popular Film director and Pawan Kalyan follower Maruthi Dasari wrote on Twitter, “please don’t try to “sensationalize” things. If surrounded situation is like that can Pawan Kalyan garu create more ruckus by standing at que? At least LISTEN PROPERLY what the red shirt person at the location (in Que) saying. Why U cut down his voice in middle?”
