Jana Sena Party president and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan’s speech at his party’s 12th foundation day celebrations in Pithapuram on Friday night has sparked varied reactions.
For his fans, his mere presence on stage was a reason to celebrate, and they cheered every word, whether they fully understood the speech or not. Critics, however, found his address as perplexing as his political philosophy.
Throughout his speech, Pawan Kalyan jumped from one topic to another, leaving many wondering about his central message.
He mainly reflected on his past struggles, his rise in politics, and his role in helping the four-decade-old TDP return to power.
While many expected him to outline a clear roadmap for his party’s future, he barely touched on it, leaving supporters guessing about his next steps and long-term ambitions.
Despite the ambiguity, Pawan Kalyan received widespread appreciation from his supporters and, more notably, from his elder brother, megastar Chiranjeevi.
Taking to social media platform X, Chiranjeevi praised his younger brother’s speech.
"My dear brother Pawan Kalyan… I was mesmerized by your speech at the ‘Jana Sena Jayakethana Sabha.’ Just like the massive crowd that attended the meeting, my heart too swelled with pride," Chiranjeevi wrote.
"My belief that a leader who can fulfill the aspirations of the people has arrived has become even stronger. I wholeheartedly bless you and hope that your journey, driven by the spirit of public welfare, continues without obstacles. My heartfelt best wishes to all the ‘Jana Sainiks’ (Jana Sena supporters),” he added.
Meanwhile, videos of Pawan Kalyan’s speech have gone viral on social media, drawing mixed responses from both supporters and critics.
