Pawan may become deputy CM as Naidu looks set to helm Andhra

Hindustan Times  

Matinee idol and Jana Sena Party president Konidela Pawan Kalyan is likely to be the deputy chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, people aware of the matter said, even as Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu is set to be sworn in as chief minister on Wednesday. Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan Naidu will be elected as the leader of the National Democratic Alliance in the southern state, comprising the TDP, Jana Sena Party and Bharatiya Janata Party, at a meeting of the newly elected legislators belonging to the three parties to be held at A-Convention Centre in Vijayawada at 9.30 am on Tuesday. “Since a large number of MLAs from TDP – 135 out of 175 members in the state assembly - got elected this time, it will be a Herculean task for Naidu to satisfy all sections.” However, as per the understanding during the formation of alliance before the polls, Naidu is most likely to offer the deputy chief minister post to Pawan Kalyan, who was elected from Pithapuram assembly constituency in East Godavari district. Pawan Kalyan had asked for five berths for his party in the state cabinet, but Naidu explained to him how he is under pressure from within his own party and agreed to accommodate four Jana Sena Party MLAs in the cabinet, including the deputy chief minister position to Pawan Kalyan, the leader added.
