Pawan Kalyan’s daughter signs a declaration of faith before a trip to the Tirupati temple

Since Polina is a minor, Pawan Kalyan also signed the documents

Hyderabad:

Polina Anjani Konidela, the younger daughter of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, signed a declaration of her respect for the Tirupati temple deity, Lord Venkateswara, before visiting the temple with her father today.

According to temple regulations, non-Hindus and foreigners must sign a declaration of faith in the deity before visiting the temple. Polina is Pawan Kalyan’s daughter from his third marriage to Anna Lezhneva and, along with her brother Mark, is a foreign citizen of India. She signed the declaration forms provided by the temple management officials. Since she is a minor, Mr. Kalyan also signed the documents.

Aadya, the daughter of leader Jan Sen from his first marriage to Renu Desai, accompanied him and Polina to the temple.

Jana Sena shared photos of Mr. Kalyan and Polena signing the forms.

“Respected Deputy Chief Minister, Sri PawanKalyan’s younger daughter Polena Anjani Konidela has given a declaration of darshan to Tirumala Sri Venkateswara Swamy. She signed the declaration forms provided by the TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams) officials. Since Polena Anjani is a minor, her father, Sri Pawan Kalyan garu, has also signed the documents,” the party said in a post on X.

Pawan Kalyan is on a three-day visit to the Tirupati temple as part of his 11-day penance amid massive political disputes over Tirupati laddoo.

Kalyan’s ally and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu alleged that animal fat was used to prepare tirupati laddoo during the YSRCP rule in the state. YSRCP leader and former Prime Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy rejected these allegations.

In response to Mr. Naidu’s allegations, Kalyan said he felt guilty that he could not have come to know about the alleged use of animal fat in Tirupati laddoos earlier.

“Tirumala Laddu Prasadam, considered sacred, became impure due to the depraved tendencies of the previous rulers. The inability to detect this sin at the beginning is a stain on the Hindu race. The moment I came to know that the laddu prasadam contained animal remains, I was shocked. I felt guilty when I fight for the welfare of people, it hurts me that I did not pay attention to such problems in the beginning,” Kalyan wrote in X.

“Everyone who believes in Sanatana Dharma should atone for this terrible injustice done to Balaji, the god of Kali Yuga. Therefore, I have decided to perform penitential initiation,” he said, announcing that he would visit the Tirupati temple for his penance.
