PM MODI MEETS DEPUTY CM PAWAN KALYAN
​A Gesture of Solidarity: Strengthening the NDA Alliance
​HYDERABAD – In a significant personal and political gesture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the residence of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and JanaSena Party chief, Pawan Kalyan, on Sunday, May 10, 2026. The meeting, which took place at Kalyan’s Jubilee Hills residence, underscored the deep-rooted camaraderie between the two leaders within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
​A Focus on Health and Well-being
​The visit was primarily personal, as the Prime Minister arrived to enquire about Pawan Kalyan’s health following a recent surgery. Kalyan had undergone a medical procedure in mid-April after falling ill during an official review meeting.
​During the 20-minute interaction, PM Modi spent time with the Deputy CM’s family, including his brother Konidela Nagendra Babu and his children.
​”His gracious visit to personally enquire about my health reflects his warmth, affection, and humane leadership. Despite his hectic schedule, he took time to extend his support—a gesture I deeply cherish.”

​Key Highlights of the Visit
​Family Interaction: The PM met with Kalyan’s children—Akira Nandan, Aadya, Polina Anjani, and Mark Shankar—and exchanged warm greetings with the family members.
​A “Remarkably Courageous” Ally: The Prime Minister had previously reached out via phone on April 19, immediately after the surgery, describing Kalyan as “remarkably courageous.”
​Political Context: The visit occurred on the sidelines of the Prime Minister’s trip to Hyderabad, where he also inaugurated the Sindhu Hospital and launched development projects worth approximately ₹9,400 crore.
​Strategic Unity in Andhra Pradesh
​While the meeting was centered on well-being, it carries significant political weight. It followed a visit to the residence of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, signaling a united front between the BJP, TDP, and JanaSena.
​Political analysts view these personal visits as a masterstroke in cementing the “double-engine” growth narrative for Andhra Pradesh, ensuring that the personal bond between the state’s top brass and the Prime Minister remains unshakable during this crucial recovery phase for the state’s economy and infrastructure.
