Mr. Kalyan, who also serves as the head of the Panchayat Raj Department, highlighted the department’s financial constraints as a reason for his decisions. He emphasized that despite being approached by Secretariat officials to sign documents related to his ₹35,000 salary for attending the House sessions over three days, he opted to forego these entitlements due to inadequate departmental funds.
The actor-turned-politician’s stance underscores his commitment to fiscal prudence and responsible governance, prioritizing the state’s financial stability over personal benefits. His actions have resonated widely, reflecting a dedication to efficient resource management amid economic challenges faced by Andhra Pradesh.
