Impressive energy towards @TVKVijayHQ and momentum deserves acknowledgment.
But comparing a debut electoral performance to a sitting Deputy Chief Minister who built a political movement from scratch since 2014 is premature at best.
Pawan Kalyan did not enter politics riding convenience. He entered public life carrying political baggage and all negativity of the Praja Rajyam Party era.
He built cadre brick by brick, faced defeats, endured relentless personal attacks, challenged entrenched incumbents, took real political risks, and ultimately delivered a clean sweep with governance responsibility.
That journey marks the transition from star to statesman.
His strength has never been instant victories or momentary hype . He is persistent with ideological clarity, and a people’s connect that extended far beyond cinema fandom.
More than anything Pawan Kalyan built his politics with personal sacrifice ,contributed entirety of his earnings to needy in such a way that he can’t afford costly Prashant Kishore types
Being @PawanKalyan is not easy!
AP & TN situations are miles apart different game, different ground.

The transformation of Early Coimbatore in to the "Manchester of South India" was largely driven by visionary Telugu-speaking industrialists. These stalwarts laid the foundation for the region's massive textile and engineering ecosystem.
01. S. P. Narasimhalu Naidu (1854–1922) :
Known as a key architect of modern Coimbatore, he co-founded the city’s first textile mill, Coimbatore Spinning and Weaving Mills (CS&W), in 1888 alongside Robert Stanes, and also planner of Siruvani Dam.
02. G. Kuppuswamy Naidu (1884–1942) :
A titan of the industry, he founded Lakshmi Mills in 1910, which became one of India’s premier textile manufacturers . His legacy expanded into the Lakshmi Machine Works (LMW).
03. G. D. Naidu (1893–1974) :
Often called the "Edison of India," he was a self-taught genius and a prolific inventor. While he revolutionized public transport with United Motor Service (UMS), his contributions to the textile sector included inventing mechanical improvements for ginning and spinning. He is credited with manufacturing India’s first electric motor in 1937.
04. Narayanaswamy Naidu :
He established the Dhandayuthapani Foundry (DPF), which became a cornerstone of Coimbatore’s engineering growth. By 1928, his foundry produced Coimbatore’s first belt-driven pump, marking the beginning of the city's dominance in the pump and motor industry.
05. K. Govindaswamy Naidu (1907–1995) :
Popularly known as "KG" he was a major industrialist and philanthropist who further expanded the "KG Group" into various textile and healthcare ventures.
06. D. Balasundaram Naidu (1913–2009) :
was a pioneering industrialist and engineer who played a central role in establishing Coimbatore as an indigenous manufacturing hub. He is best known as the founder of Textool Company Limited, which was the first in India to manufacture a complete range of indigenous textile machinery.

Singapore exists because you refused to let it fail.
“If #Theri is being remade, why should I take credit for the story, screenplay, and direction? #UstaadBhagatSingh is not a remake.
Since it’s a police story, people are comparing it to films like Theri, Temper, and Gabbar Singh. That doesn’t mean it’s a remake.
In fact, a scene in Theri was inspired by my film Gabbar Singh. If that’s the case, why would I remake a film that includes a scene inspired by my own movie?” Questioned by director #HarishShankar.

Lowest birth rate in the world, top ten highest suicide rate, worst elderly poverty, always top ten highest household debt in the world, worst gender pay gap not to mention always top tier for overwork culture...the list goes on.
You sell inferiority through pop culture this reliance on perfection that can only be attained through ridiculous beauty standards and unrealistic expectations and dystopian realisation through dramas and films.
Not to mention you sell bastardised American "culture" through appropriation of African American music and fashion.
And of course, most of y'all racist as fuck always talking down to South East Asians because you think we're inferior to you.

🗿✨ A priceless piece of Telugu heritage!
An early 8th-century Telugu inscription discovered at Pitikayagulla, Andhra Pradesh, takes us back 1,200+ years into our glorious history. 📜
#TeluguHistory#AndhraPradesh#Heritage#Archaeology
Pallavas are Telugu. ⚔️
Lla (𑀚) from Bhattiprolu not present in Temil Brahmi. Tamil-Brahmi also lacks “ha” 𑀳. Tamil lacks aspirated consonants hence Pallavas of Andhra introduced Grantha into Tamil. Did you make this table ? There is no sich thing as Tamil Brahmi. It is Proto-Southern evolved in Andhra/Asmaka Desa.
Dravidoid historians don’t know they lack aspirated consonants as well as brains 🤡

Hello, "Mr Self-Claimed Mother"! How dare you call? Without Tamil there is no Telugu. Telugu didn't come from Tamil they only share a common ancestor
Telugu is a South-Central Dravidian language; it's just a sister language of Tamil. Dravidian is the mother, not your Tamil!
But irony is, you guys feel as if you own the entire Dravidian and insult others.
Wrong both langauges doesn't even belong to the same branch, your delusion thoughts will stay in your sambar well only. Both langauges came from Proto-Dravidian which branched into South Central Dravidian and South. From South Central came Gondi, Telugu and Kui!
A another girl who once travelled on the same bus has told the truth about Deepak, who later died by suicide. Her words are very touching and make anyone feel sad.
On social media, Deepak was called a “bad man” and was badly blamed. But a few months earlier, a girl who met him on that same bus said that he was actually a very good person. She knew him for only one day.
About one year ago, the girl was travelling on the bus and she was in a lot of pain because of her periods. Her face looked weak and pale. Deepak, who was sitting near her, kindly asked,
“Daughter, what happened?”
He asked if he should call her mother, but she said no. Then Deepak gave her a pain killer /medicine that he had with him and tried to comfort her. To help her forget the pain he talked to her about her studies and exams.
When she said she was afraid of exams, Deepak said,“There is no need to be afraid. Even at my age, I am still struggling and working hard. Life is always like this.”
During the whole journey, he behaved like a caring elder brother and made her feel safe. That is why, even after one year, she still remembered his face.
From her words, it is clear that Deepak was not a criminal. He was a man who respected women and felt sad when he saw someone in pain.
But because of a false accusation, the whole world started blaming him. For something he never did, he was shamed again and again. Maybe because of this shock, he chose to end his life.
If Deepak had not died, this truth might never have come out.
Rest in peace, Deepak. Bhai 🙏
