Power Star Pawan Kalyan has received a sort of criticism for maintaining silence during the merger of PRP into the Congress and expressed his dissatisfaction indirectly about the merger in subsequent days. While the media was speculating Pawan Kalyan was not in good terms with Chiranjeevi due to PRP's merger, never ever Pawan Kalyan has come forward to express his views on the speculations.
Finally, Pawan Kalyan talked about PRP's merger into the Congress druing Janasena's first pubic meet. Pawan Kalyan said, " Annayya anter meekoo, naakoo kooda, prema gouravam thaggaledu. Many people asked me why you have kept mum during the merger of PRP. At that time I thought the opinions of elders were better than me. So, whatsoever they did it I felt they had done right. Moreover, PRP's MLAs might have threatened Annayya to desert the party and so he merged the party into the Congress."
