Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, who is seen reaching Kochi on Wednesday as part of his three-day pilgrimage to some temples in Southern India, was absent at the day-long review meeting conducted by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu with ministers and secretaries on Tuesday.
He was also absent from the cabinet meeting held a few days ago. However, he had given advance notice that he would not be attending the cabinet meeting. But it seems that he skipped Tuesday’s meeting without any information. But, surprisingly, the Chief Minister’s confession at this meeting was that Pawan Kalyan did not lift his phone sending wrong signals in the coalition government.
When the issue of Panchayat Raj came up, Jana Sena’s Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar made a pretext and said that Pawan Kalyan had been suffering from severe back pain for two weeks and therefore did not come to the meeting. However, here is where the key development took place.
According to media reports, Chandrababu informed the meeting that when he himself called Pawan Kalyan over telephone knowing about his ill-health, but there was no response. Atleast there was no call back. However, TDP circles are wondering over this development and fearing that this may sent wrong signals to the people on the government.
Moreover, Pawan Kalyan, who skipped Tuesday’s key meeting, went to Kochi in Kerala on Wednesday. Another strange thing is that Chandrababu used to talk only about himself in the past. But now he is talking on behalf of him, Prime Minister Modi and Pawan Kalyan. His goal is to make the Telugu nation number one. He is claiming that both Modi and Pawan Kalyan are also thinking on the same-lines.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Chandrababu expressed his anger over the time management in the meeting of ministers and secretaries. The CM reached the meeting today 5 minutes early. Even though the Chief Minister came, the secretaries and ministers did not attend the meeting at the right time. The Chief Minister waited for them in the fifth block for 10 minutes.
The CM practically took a class for everyone on not being punctual in public affairs. He made it clear that he would not tolerate anyone coming late to meetings again. He advised ministers and officials to follow smart work as well as punctuality. One minister finally attended at 11.43 am.
