Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu wished Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on his birthday on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. In a message from Amaravati, Naidu praised Kalyan’s popularity, Panchayati Raj reforms and rural and tribal development initiatives.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu extended birthday greetings to Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party president K. Pawan Kalyan on Wednesday, describing him as a “Power Star” who holds a permanent place in the hearts of his fans.

In a message shared on social media, Naidu praised Kalyan’s work in the Andhra Pradesh government, particularly his efforts in the Panchayati Raj and Rural Development departments. He said the Deputy Chief Minister was introducing important reforms and implementing programmes intended to improve living conditions in villages.

The birthday message highlighted Kalyan’s transition from a popular Telugu film actor to a major political leader and administrator. Supporters across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana marked the occasion, while political leaders, public representatives and film personalities shared greetings online.

Naidu appreciated Kalyan’s focus on strengthening village administration and improving basic infrastructure in rural areas. As the minister responsible for Panchayati Raj, Rural Development and Rural Water Supply, Kalyan has been overseeing programmes involving village roads, drinking water, sanitation and local governance.

The chief minister said new initiatives aimed at expanding road connectivity and promoting greenery in tribal regions were producing encouraging results. Better roads in remote communities can improve access to hospitals, schools, markets and government services, particularly for residents of hilltop and forest villages.

Naidu also acknowledged Kalyan’s commitment to public welfare. His message presented the Deputy Chief Minister’s work as an important part of the coalition government’s broader development agenda in Andhra Pradesh.

Andhra Pradesh Governor S. Abdul Nazeer also conveyed his greetings to Pawan Kalyan. In his message, the governor offered heartfelt felicitations and wished the Deputy Chief Minister good health, happiness and a long life dedicated to serving the people of the state.

Pawan Kalyan thanked the governor for his wishes and blessings through a social media message. Several ministers, legislators, Jana Sena leaders, supporters and representatives from different fields also extended their greetings.

Birthday messages highlighted Kalyan’s work in politics, cinema and public service. Many supporters referred to his long-standing “Power Star” identity, which became closely associated with him during his career in Telugu cinema.

Born on September 2, 1971, Pawan Kalyan built a large fan following through Telugu films before launching the Jana Sena Party in 2014. His speeches, political campaigns and public activities helped him establish a separate identity beyond cinema.

Kalyan contested the 2024 Andhra Pradesh Assembly election from Pithapuram and registered a decisive victory. Jana Sena also emerged as an important partner in the TDP-led National Democratic Alliance government formed after the election.

He assumed office as Deputy Chief Minister in June 2024 and received responsibility for Panchayati Raj, Rural Development, Rural Water Supply, Environment, Forests, Science and Technology. These departments placed him at the centre of the government’s village development and environmental programmes.

Fans and Jana Sena supporters organised social and community activities to mark Kalyan’s birthday. Greetings shared across social media celebrated both his film career and his political journey.

Naidu’s message also reflected the partnership between the Telugu Desam Party and Jana Sena in the Andhra Pradesh coalition government. By praising Kalyan’s administrative work alongside his popularity, the chief minister highlighted his role as both a public figure and a government leader.

The wishes from Naidu, Governor Abdul Nazeer and other leaders turned the occasion into a major political and public celebration, with supporters wishing Kalyan continued success in governance and public service.
