HYDERABAD: Jana Sena party chief
Pawan Kalyan, who is unwell, has ‘politely declined the offer of doctors to accompany him on his campaign', his nephew and actor
Ram Charan Tej
said in a Facebook post.
Ram Charan Tej travelled from Hyderabad to
Vijayawada
and met the Jana Sena Party leader who has not been keeping well.
“He is extremely weak and dehydrated,”
Ram Charan Tej wrote on social media site, adding that the doctors had advised him to completely stop his election campaign.
“However, due to his political commitments and shortage of time, he has decided to go ahead with his campaign in Anakapalle and Pendurthi today. The doctors have insisted on accompanying him on his campaign but he has politely declined their offer,” Ram Charan Tej said.
Ram Charan Tej, while wishing his uncle a speedy recovery and ‘all success for his service to the people’, also added a hashtag to the post to vote for the Jana Sena Party’s glass symbol in the
Lok Sabha
and assembly elections in
Andhra Pradesh on April 11.
It is interesting to note that only a few days ago, the makers of Ram Charan Tej’s forthcoming film had put out a tweet saying that the actor had an ankle injury while working out at the gym and therefore he would be out of action for three weeks as he had been advised rest. However, Ram Charan Tej went to Vijayawada to meet his uncle.
Another nephew of Pawan Kalyan, actor Allu Arjun has also extended support to Pawan Kalyan and his brother Nagendra Babu, both of whom are contesting in the polls.
