Bandla Ganesh has joined the Congress party on Friday. As was reported earlier today, he is in Delhi along with 50 other Telangana leaders. Rahul Gandhi has formally welcomed him into the Grand Old Party's fold.

While Ganesh is now with the Congress, curiously, his "God" Pawan Kalyan is a pucca anti-Congress politician. What about this dichotomy? "I have always been a Congressvadi from my childhood. That's why I have joined the party. Pawan Kalyan garu will continue to be my God," Ganesh has said today.

But what if he has to slam the Jana Sena leader as a political rival? "I will never do that. Chasthe vimarshinchanu," the actor-turned-producer-politician said.

Once a Pawan 'Bhaktudu', forever a Pawan 'Bhaktudu'.
