Progressive Organisation of Women (POW) State President Sandhya has on Wednesday evening claimed that a sensational director known for sensational tweets is the one who prodded Sri Reddy to abuse Pawan Kalyan.

"I have seen his messages to Sri Reddy.  He repeatedly asked her to use the 'M' word against Pawan Kalyan," Sandhya said.  No prizes for guessing that the director in question is Ram Gopal Varma, whom Sri Reddy had met only recently.

"Last night, Sri Reddy told me she wants to die by committing suicide.  I booked a cab in the midnight and went to her flat.  I brought her to my home," Sandhya tells a TV channel.

There has been this suspicion that Pawan's political rivals are behind the verbal onslaught against him.  In this context, RGV's name comes as a surprise.
