It is not that I cannot ask for or take the home department. If I do, things will be very different for these people. We have to be like Yogi Adityanath. Otherwise, they won’t change. So decide if you will change or not,” Pawan Kalyan said
Pawan Kalyan Takes On Ally TDP, Has A Warning For Andhra Home Minister
Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has turned against ally Telugu Desam Party’s Home Minister Anitha, calling her incompetent. He warned that unless things improved, he would be forced to “take over the home department also”.

His warning came as crimes against women in the state saw a spike. After a three-year-old was sexually assaulted yesterday, the actor-politician tweeted “Peace and security have markedly deteriorated in Andhra Pradesh” and law and order has to be handled the way it is done in Yogi Adityanath’s Uttar Pradesh.
“I am telling home minister Anitha too. You are the Home Minister. I am the Panchayati Raj minister, Forest and Environment minister. Discharge your duties well or I will be forced to take over the home department as well,” he said at a rally in his constituency Pithapuram.
You need to be like Yogi Adityanath. Political leaders and MLAs are not just here to ask for votes. You have responsibilities too. Everybody has to think. It is not that I cannot ask for or take the home department.
If I do, things will be very different for these people. We have to be like Yogi Adityanath. Otherwise, they won’t change. So decide if you will change or not,” he added, to huge cheers from the audience.
That public criticism has set off speculation about a rift. But Narayana, another senior minister in Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s cabinet, has said that as the Deputy Chief Minister, Pawan Kalyan has every right to point out mistakes and set ministers on the right track.
