In a moment reflecting family devotion, Polina Anjani Konidela, the younger daughter of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, signed a faith declaration before her trip to the Tirupati temple today. This declaration, required by the temple for non-Hindus and foreigners, was a formality before the familyโs darshan of Lord Venkateswara. โ๏ธโจ

Why the Declaration? ๐ค
Since Polina is an Overseas Citizen of India (from Pawan Kalyanโs third marriage to Anna Lezhneva), she needed to sign this document. And because she’s still a minor, her dad Pawan Kalyan added his signature too, making it a special father-daughter moment. ๐จโ๐ง๐
Accompanying them was Aadya, Pawan Kalyanโs daughter from his first marriage with Renu Desai, making it a family affair. ๐ซ

Jana Sena Shares the Moment ๐ธ
The Jana Sena Party took to social media, posting visuals of the signing and showing Kalyanโs dedication to the tradition. In their post on X (formerly Twitter), they highlighted Polinaโs reverence and the family’s deep-rooted connection to the temple. ๐๏ธ

The Controversy Behind the Visit ๐ฉ๏ธ
This visit comes amid a larger political storm brewing around the Tirupati laddoo controversy. Pawan Kalyanโs ally, Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu, accused the ruling YSRCP of using animal fat in the sacred laddoos. These claims have stirred up tension, with former CM Jagan Mohan Reddy dismissing the allegations.
Feeling deeply disturbed by this controversy, Kalyan expressed his guilt for not learning about it earlier and committed himself to an 11-day penance. His current trip to the Tirupati temple is part of this spiritual journey. ๐๐๏ธ
