Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan said the Andhra Pradesh government is considering setting up a National School of Drama (NSD) campus in the state. He added that he would soon discuss the matter with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. Pawan Kalyan visited Delhi on Friday to attend the Vice President’s swearing-in ceremony and later toured the NSD office.
Speaking to reporters, he praised Vice President Radhakrishnan, calling him an experienced leader who would bring more dignity to the post. Pawan expressed confidence that he would contribute to meaningful discussions in the Rajya Sabha. He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, NDA leaders, and allies for nominating Radhakrishnan for the top constitutional role.
Highlighting the importance of arts, Pawan Kalyan said society faces more violence when it neglects culture. He noted that Telugu cinema has reached a global stage and emphasized that the film industry moves where incentives and facilities are available. He assured that the Andhra Pradesh government will extend support to the film industry and is preparing an action plan.
On politics, Pawan criticized former CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, saying he should respect the Constitution and attend Assembly sessions. He alleged that YSRCP seems to follow its “own constitution,” which has no place under the current government.
