After the formation of the coalition government, the three alliance parties organized a massive public meeting in Anantapur on Wednesday.
But the spotlight has turned to Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, who, according to political circles, failed to make the most of the opportunity. The event, titled Super Six – Super Hit, was planned on a grand scale.
As Jana Sena president, Pawan Kalyan would rarely get a chance to address such a massive gathering. But this time, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), leading the government, took complete control of the show.
TDP leaders ensured a massive turnout, but to everyone’s surprise, Pawan Kalyan cut his speech short, missing the chance to make a powerful impact.
Nearly 90 percent of those present were TDP workers and leaders.
Political analysts feel that Pawan could have delivered a rousing speech to not only impress the crowd but also win over members from other parties. Instead, he ended his address in less than ten minutes, leaving many in shock.
Even within Jana Sena, there is disappointment that his speech felt perfunctory.
He only briefly mentioned the Super Six as a symbol of public trust in the coalition, adding that under Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership, there would be many more “sixes” to come.
He also touched on one or two achievements from his department before wrapping up.
Supporters who expected Pawan to attack former CM Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy with sharp criticism were left dissatisfied. Many felt he appeared distracted and half-hearted during his address.
The muted speech, delivered at such a grand gathering, has now sparked debates on why Pawan chose to pass up such a golden opportunity.
