Janasena Party chief Pawan Kalyan exercised his voting rights at a polling booth in Mangalagiri along with his wife, Anna Lezhneva. Upon learning of his arrival, a large number of fans gathered at the booth, chanting slogans in support of Pawan Kalyan as "CM Pawan".
On the other hand, Pothina Mahesh, who left Janasena to join YSRCP, has been critical of Pawan Kalyan, accusing him of amassing billions and threatening to expose assets allegedly held under benami names. He also made severe remarks inviting Pawan Kalyan to bring his third wife Anna Lezhneva to the housewarming ceremony in Pithapuram, suggesting she should always accompany him. These comments have drawn sharp criticism from netizens, who mockingly suggest that Pothina Mahesh should "open his eyes" as Pawan Kalyan was voting with his wife.
Meanwhile, across Andhra Pradesh, voters are actively participating at the polling stations. Many from Hyderabad traveled to their hometowns in AP to cast their votes, contributing to the lively atmosphere in the villages. Authorities reported that voting has been mostly peaceful, except for a few isolated incidents.
