Is a rift brewing between Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu? Political circles are abuzz with speculation after Pawan Kalyan unexpectedly skipped a key government meeting, raising questions about his commitment to the alliance with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
Pawan Kalyan’s Absence Raises Eyebrows
According to reports, Pawan Kalyan was noticeably absent from an important official meeting, prompting curiosity and concern. Instead of attending, he left for Hyderabad on a two-day trip, but the reason for his visit remains unclear. Some sources suggest he was busy with his film commitments for Hari Hara Veeramallu, while others believe there could be political reasons behind his absence.
Naidu’s Unanswered Calls Spark Doubts
CM Chandrababu Naidu reportedly inquired about Pawan Kalyan’s absence during a meeting with government secretaries. Jana Sena leader Nadendla Manohar, a close associate of Pawan, explained that the Deputy CM had been suffering from back pain for two weeks.
However, the situation became more intriguing when Naidu revealed that he had personally tried to contact Pawan but was unable to reach him. This revelation has led to political speculation—why would the Deputy CM not take the CM’s call? Even if he was unwell, wouldn’t he still keep communication open with Naidu?
Contradictory Signals Add to Speculation
Further adding to the mystery, Pawan Kalyan, who was supposedly resting due to back pain, was later spotted walking normally at Cochin Airport, appearing healthy and active. Reports suggest his Kerala visit was part of a political outreach program, which directly contradicts the claim that he was recovering from illness.
What This Means for the TDP-JSP Alliance
With local body elections fast approaching, the TDP-JSP alliance needs unity and coordination. However, Pawan Kalyan’s absence, his lack of communication with Naidu, and his separate political engagements have raised doubts about the stability of the partnership.
Is this just a temporary misunderstanding, or is there a deeper conflict brewing between the two leaders? Only time will tell. For now, all eyes are on how Pawan Kalyan and Chandrababu Naidu will navigate this situation and whether their alliance will remain strong in the run-up to the next elections.
