There is talk even within the party circles that Jana Sena chief and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan is non-serious both in party matters and in government affairs. He was also absent from the Collectors’ Conference that was held for two days. Not only that, Pawan Kalyan also skipped the Cabinet meeting held in Velagapudi on Friday under the chairmanship of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. While skipping both the Collectors’ Conference and the Cabinet meeting, Pawan Kalyan is going to participate in the Jana Sena formation day celebrations to be held in the Paderu constituency on Saturday. With this, a discussion is going on about what exactly is happening in the coalition government. There is also a discussion in political circles that he skipped these key meetings only for the work related to his new film Ustaad Bhagat Singh. Meanwhile, those who observed the way Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu responded regarding the Forest Department handled by Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan during the Collectors’ Conference are expressing several doubts. There is a discussion in Jana Sena circles about whether all this was aimed at targeting Pawan Kalyan.
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu made strong remarks at the Collectors’ Conference, stating that despite saying it for a long time, there has been no change at all in the officials of the Forest Department. This has led to discussions that he indirectly indicated that the functioning of the Forest Department being handled by Pawan Kalyan is not satisfactory. This issue was also widely reported in the media. There is also talk that the focus of N. Chandrababu Naidu appeared to project that Pawan Kalyan has ultimately failed even in the Forest Department. The key point here is that an official questioned whether N. Chandrababu Naidu, who says he has served as Chief Minister four times, does not know how strict the forest laws are. He said that no matter who says what, officials cannot take decisions arbitrarily when it comes to forest laws. Even after knowing all these facts, there is discussion in official circles as well that N. Chandrababu Naidu seemed to have specially targeted this particular department. Although everything appears fine on the surface in the coalition government, comments are being heard that internally there seem to be attempts to undermine each other. It remains to be seen how many more turns these developments will take in the coming days.
