Pawan Kalyan, Andhra Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister, has purchased another 12 acres of land in Pithapuram, his Assembly constituency in Kakinada district.
Tota Sudheer, Chairman of the State Civil Supplies Corporation, completed the registration process for Pawan Kalyan’s land in Illindrada on Tuesday.
This is the Jana Sena leader’s third land purchase in the constituency since becoming Deputy Chief Minister following the Telugu Desam Party-led National Democratic Alliance’s victory in June.
In July, the actor-turned-politician purchased two parcels of land totaling 1.44 acres and 2.08 acres in the Bhogapuram and Illindrada revenue limits, respectively.
With this recent purchase, Pawan Kalyan now owns 15.52 acres in the constituency.
The Jana Sena leader intends to erect a residence and camp office on the 12 acres purchased on Tuesday. During the election campaign, he promised that if elected, he would build a house in his constituency.
In an apparent attempt to rebut his political rivals’ accusations that he was an outsider for the seat, Pawan Kalyan promised to live in the town to be closer to the people and fight for their development.
The actor defeated YSR Congress Party nominee and former MP Vanga Geetha by more than 70,000 votes to win his first election.
In the May 2024 elections, the Jana Sena won all 21 Assembly and two Lok Sabha seats.
During a previous visit to the constituency, Pawan Kalyan stated that he would abstain from film shoots for three months. He added that if possible, he would dedicate one or two days to film shoots.
The Deputy Chief Minister stated that the people of Pithapuram had given him the strength to have a voice in national politics.
He had also indicated that, given the state’s difficult financial situation, he would not accept his salary or any extra allowances, including new office furnishings.
