In Andhra Pradesh, there is growing unrest among the public as they voice demands for essential issues like employment opportunities, reduced taxation, and the establishment of a new state capital. The state's economic challenges have created a pressing need for jobs, with unemployment rates worrying the youth and middle class. High taxation, combined with stagnant growth in certain sectors, has fueled frustration among citizens. Furthermore, the prolonged uncertainty surrounding the capital city has left people without a clear vision for the state's development, with many calling for decisive action to establish a permanent capital that can drive economic growth.

Amid these pressing demands, deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, a well-known actor-turned-politician, has stirred attention by focusing on promoting Sanatana Dharma, or traditional Hindu values. His focus on religious and cultural revival, while resonating with some, has been met with mixed reactions. Many citizens feel that while cultural and religious preservation is important, the immediate issues of job creation, economic relief, and infrastructure development should be the top priorities of the government.

Kalyan’s emphasis on Sanatana dharma has led to a divide in public opinion, with some accusing him of diverting attention away from critical issues. As political dynamics unfold, it remains to be seen how the leadership will balance these varied concerns and address the urgent needs of Andhra’s population.
