Amaravati

Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan said on Friday that all parties in the state’s coalition government are equal and important. Speaking at Narasimhapuram village in Prakasam district, he laid the foundation stone for a Rs 1,290 crore drinking water project under the Jal Jeevan Mission. The project will provide clean water to 22 lakh people across seven Assembly constituencies, solving long-standing water and fluorosis problems.

Pawan Kalyan thanked BJP for its support and appreciated Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s financial planning. "I have no experience, but I have the power to fight," he said, adding that collective effort is necessary to complete any work.

He criticized YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders for threatening to harm opponents if they return to power in 2029. "You have to win first. Let’s see how you do that," he challenged.

He also warned people against encroaching temple lands, stating that the coalition government has started reclaiming them to protect the state’s heritage.

He emphasized that the coalition government is not driven by revenge but will act against wrongdoing. "We are working with humility. Do not provoke us," he warned.

Later on social media, Pawan Kalyan called it a historic day for Prakasam district and thanked Prime Minister Modi and Union Jal Shakti Minister C. R. Patil for their support. He said that with continued joint efforts, safe drinking water will reach 1 crore families across Andhra Pradesh in the coming years.
