In
an
interesting
turn
of
events,
the
Tollywood
actor
and
Jana
Sena
Chief
'Power
Star'
Pawan
Kalyan
met
the
Prime
Minister,
Narendra
Modi
on
last
Friday
night
in
Vishakapatnam.
This
meeting
comes
amidst
rumours
of
strained
relationship
between
the
alliance
of
both
Jana
Sena
and
BJP.
Jana
Sena
had
formed
an
alliance
with
the
NDA
government
during
the
last
election.
Eventually,
it
was
rumoured
that
Pawan
Kalyan
chose
to
stay
close
to
the
opposition
party
leader
N
Chandrababu
Naidu
during
the
recent
state
election
against
Y
S
Jagan
Mohan
Reddy's
party.
The
Jana
Sena
Chief
later
met
the
press
to
elaborate
on
the
meeting
with
PM
Modi,
in
which
he
said
"It
was
for
the
first
time
after
eight
years
that
I
had
a
meeting
with
the
Prime
Minister.
The
last
time
I
met
him
was
in
2014
when
I
took
part
in
the
election
campaign
in
the
state
along
with
him.
After
he
became
the
Prime
Minister,
I
could
not
meet
him
again,"
Media
reports
also
said
that
Pawan
Kalyan
had
also
discussed
various
issues
pertaining
to
the
state
and
the
present
political
situation.
External
reports
say
that
the
actor
was
accompanied
by
the
party's
political
affairs
committee
convener
Nadendla
Manohar.
PM
Modi
halted
in
Vishakapatnam
on
Friday,
in
order
to
launch
numerous
projects
scheduled
for
the
next
day.
Meanwhile
the
actor
was
earlier
remanded
by
the
local
cops
for
more
than
a
day,
for
his
stunt
during
a
visit
to
attend
the
Jana
Vani
programme.
The
actor
was
booked
under
law
and
order
grounds
for
dangerously
travelling
on
the
top
of
his
car
during
the
visit.
And
this
meeting
with
PM
Modi
is
definitely
significant
given
that
it
was
alleged
that
there
wasn't
any
support
to
the
actor,
from
the
local
BJP
front
on
his
arrest.
