Actor-turned-politician and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan undertook an 11-day Varahi Vijaya Deeksha (fast), dedicated to Goddess Varahi. His decision to do the same is seen as a move to seek the blessings of the goddess for the welfare of the state and its people. During this time Pawan will pray for the prosperity and development of Andhra Pradesh. As per reports, he will consume only milk, fruits, and water.
Recently, Pawan addressed the problem of salaries for government employees in the state. Addressing the meeting with Panchayat Raj employees, he said, "`I understand your struggles. I am also the son of a government employee, and my father was a government employee. We used to live on his salary. There were times when we couldn`t pay school fees and were sent out and only allowed back after paying. I know the impact when employees don`t receive their salaries on time, especially at month-end when we struggle to support their families. The NDA Alliance government will stand with government employees," he said.
