Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has built a reputation for responding quickly when people seek help. Even with a demanding administrative schedule, he makes it a point to act on appeals that reach him through social media or public interactions.
His recent intervention in Pithapuram once again brought this into focus. Two siblings from Madhavapuram village lost their father two years ago and their mother to cancer just months ago. With no immediate support system, they recorded a video requesting assistance. The message reached Pawan Kalyan, who immediately directed officials to provide Rs. 5,000 per month to each child. He also assured that he would personally contribute financial assistance. Beyond the monthly support, he instructed the district administration to take steps for building a house and to ensure their admission into a residential school from the next academic year.
Such gestures are part of a broader pattern. In his constituency, several orphaned children have been receiving monthly assistance drawn from his own salary. His outreach has extended to visually impaired women cricketers who represented India on the global stage. After meeting them, he arranged essential household items for their families to ease their financial burden.
At the same time, development work continues. Roads in remote tribal regions have been sanctioned after direct public requests. Basic necessities such as blankets and fresh produce have also been distributed in tribal villages.
For many citizens, Pawan Kalyan represents more than a public office. He is seen as a leader who listens and acts without delay.
