The Story in Brief
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan skipped Governor Abdul Nazeer’s Independence Day ‘At Home’ reception in Vijayawada on Saturday evening, citing high fever. He had earlier attended the 78th Independence Day celebrations in Kakinada and inaugurated a wood bank in Rajamahendravaram, but left midway as his fever worsened. Doctors advised complete rest, and he later left for Hyderabad.
Speculation arose in media circles that he avoided the event to sidestep Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and minister Nara Lokesh, especially since he had missed recent Cabinet meetings. However, Jana Sena Party sources dismissed this, pointing out that he shared the dais with Naidu at the Bhogapuram airport inauguration recently. They said his absence was due to incomplete recovery from a rotator cuff surgery performed in Mumbai, which requires months of physiotherapy and rest.
The Indian Opinion
The YSR Congress Party’s social media ecosystem is pouncing on Pawan Kalyan’s recurrent illness to paint him as disinterested in Andhra Pradesh, preferring Hyderabad instead. That is a regressive personal attack. Meanwhile, media speculation about a rift with Naidu and Lokesh lacks hard proof, the three shared a public platform just days ago. The real test is whether Pawan attends the next cabinet meeting or produces a credible medical update. Until then, both narratives are just noise.
