VIJAYAWADA : Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan on Sunday shared a reflective message on his social media handle X, asserting the need to empower youth, and move beyond the culture of freebies, while recalling his visit to Srikakulam in the aftermath of Cyclone Titli in 2018.
Responding to a post by Civil Supplies Minister and JSP Political Affairs Committee chairman Nadendla Manohar, Pawan Kalyan stated that he vividly remembered their interaction with youth in Srikakulam seven years ago.
“They did not ask for freebies, they did not ask for any welfare schemes, but they had stated firmly ‘Give us 25 years of future, not freebies.’ We need to tap the true potential of our youth. I will keep meeting our youth to understand them for fulfilling their dreams,” the Deputy CM posted.
Manohar, marking the completion of seven years of his association with Pawan Kalyan, and the JSP, had earlier posted, “Seven years ago, on October 12, 2018, my journey with Pawan Kalyan in the JSP began, driven by a vision for a stronger Andhra Pradesh. His able and kind leadership always motivates us even in the toughest of times.
Here we were in the aftermath of Cyclone Titli, Srikakulam, listening to the youth to shape a future Andhra Pradesh that reflects their aspirations. I am deeply grateful to our party president, leaders, Janasainiks, and Veera Mahilas for this incredible journey.”
Pawan Kalyan’s response resonated widely on social media, with users appreciating his focus on long-term vision, and the importance of youth empowerment.
The youth’s wish, ‘Give us 25 years of future, not freebies’, quickly began trending on X among JSP supporters, who interpreted it as a renewed call for sustainable development and responsible governance.
