Jana Sena Party chief and power star Pawan Kalyan has once again proved that he does not have patience to spend lengthy period among the people.
Like all film stars who prefer to move into caravan to take periodical breaks during the shooting hours, Pawan, too, looks for regular breaks during his tours to get relief and rejuvenate himself from the stress of addressing public meetings.
On Tuesday, Jana Sena Party’s political affairs committee convenor Madasu Gangadharam announced that Pawan Kalyan has postponed his next round of tour in West Godavari district scheduled to start from August 23.
He is supposed to visit Jangareddigudem, Polavaram and Chintalapudi as part of the Praja Porata Yatra.
However, Pawan got the right excuse to postpone his tour – heavy rains and floods in the areas.
“Since the villages are reeling under floods and people are suffering, Pawan decided to not to cause any inconvenience for them and hence, decided to postpone his tour. The rescheduled tour details will be communicated later,” Gangadharam said.
The inconvenience is for Pawan and not to the people. If Pawan is so concerned about the flood-affected people, he should forget his celebrity status, step into the flood waters, participate in the relief operations and console the victims. That would have fetched a lot of mileage for him in the next elections as well.
But, Pawan is yet to come out of his celebrity aura. He cannot go directly into the people and needs security all around. He does not want to face any inconvenience.
How can a person who wants to become the chief minister of the state expect the people to vote for him, if he keeps away from the ground realities?
This is not the first time that Pawan has postponed his tours on one pretext or the other. He doesn’t have the patience to be amidst the people and understand their issues. So, very frequently, he has been taking a break from his hectic political schedule and goes into relaxing mood.
During his tour in north-coastal districts, the Jana Sena Party chief took at least four breaks for various reasons.
After finishing Visakhapatnam, he was supposed to enter East Godavari, but dropped the plan as his schedule does not clash with the padayatra of YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.
He announced that he would resume the yatra in West Godavari district from July 16. But later, it was postponed to July 20.
On Tuesday, his party leaders in Hyderabad announced that Pawan has further postponed his yatra in West Godavari district because of heavy rains in the area.
