In the bustling city of Amaravati, two prominent leaders in Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan and N. Balakrishna, exercised their right to vote on Monday. As leading actors in the Telugu film industry, also known as Tollywood, their presence at the polls caught the attention of many.
Pawan Kalyan, the chief of Jana Sena Party, made his way to the Mangalagiri Assembly constituency in the Guntur district to cast his vote. Joining him was his wife, Konidala Anna. Meanwhile, Balakrishna, a leader of the Telugu Desam Party, voted in the Hindupur constituency in Sri Sathya Sai district.
As the state of Andhra Pradesh holds simultaneous elections for the 175-member state Assembly and 25 Lok Sabha seats, Pawan Kalyan and Balakrishna made sure to make their voices heard. While many of their colleagues in the film industry cast their votes in Hyderabad, these two leaders chose to transfer their votes to Andhra Pradesh as they are actively involved in state politics.
Pawan Kalyan, who is also contesting in the elections, is hoping for his first electoral victory in the Pithapuram Assembly constituency in Kakinada district. After facing defeat in both seats he contested in the 2019 elections, he is determined to secure a win this time around. His party, Jana Sena, has formed an alliance with the TDP and BJP and has fielded candidates in 21 Assembly and two Lok Sabha constituencies.
Meanwhile, Balakrishna, accompanied by his wife Vasundhara, voted at a polling center in Hindupur. The actor is seeking re-election for the third time in Hindupur. As the son of TDP founder and former chief minister N. T. Rama Rao and brother-in-law of TDP president and former chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Balakrishna has a strong political background.
With the votes of these two influential leaders cast, the people of Andhra Pradesh eagerly await the results of the elections that will shape the future of their state.
