While Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and his cabinet ministers and MLAs including Nara Lokesh are busy handling the ongoing floods in Vijayawada and other surrounding areas, Deputy Chief Minister and Janasena party supremo Pawan Kalyan is missing in action during the crisis. This has become a talking point in political circles and media because there is no information over his whereabouts even within the party cadres.
Pawan Kalyan used to be very proactive and vocal whenever the public faced any challenges and adverse situations. He was very critical of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s government and never spared any issue to hold them responsible for their inefficiencies. Surprisingly, he has been going into incognito mode whenever some important issues are happening in the state.
Last week, when the controversial Gudlavalleru issue to came to light, many expected Pawan Kalyan to react and assure the girls who were protesting over the alleged hidden camera scandal in the hostel washroom. But, he chose to ignore and stay silent. Even when a brutal murder took place in Vinukonda and some other incidents of attacks on YSRCP cadre happened in the last two months, Pawan didn’t show any reaction.
What is more shocking is that Pawan Kalyan is no where in picture when torrential rains devastated Vijayawada and thousands of people suffered due to the inundation of so many low lying areas. Though Pawan Kalyan cancelled his birthday celebrations, he didn’t appear in any rescue operations. It seems like he has travelled abroad to meet his family.
If he stayed in Hyderabad or any other place in India, he would have immediately rushed to Vijayawada atleast for the sake of avoiding criticism from YSRCP cadre. As he didn’t appear in the scene in the last two days, it is very clear that Pawan Kalyan is not India and missing in action during dire circumstances.
