greatandhra.com reports that Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan did not attend the just-concluded Assembly session, sparking political debate. He was present at the complex on the last day but stayed in his chamber, meeting party MLAs and leaving without entering the House. He cited health issues, but observers note he came to the complex despite this.

The outlet says his absence from Cabinet and Assembly meetings has been frequent, raising questions about his commitment and ambitions. Some Jana Sena leaders privately question the message sent to voters. The report adds that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu faces a dilemma, as the alliance with Jana Sena limits TDP's room to criticise Pawan Kalyan. Political observers believe Pawan Kalyan's style may harm his party more than the TDP.
The coverage from greatandhra.com frames Pawan Kalyan's absence as a pattern of unavailability, questioning his political ambitions against his conduct. It emphasises coalition tensions and internal Jana Sena doubts, while downplaying his health excuse by noting his presence at the complex. A careful reader should note the absence of any official statement from Pawan Kalyan or the TDP, leaving room for speculation. The key question is whether this will affect the alliance's stability ahead of local body elections.
