Pawan Kalyan's statement about the needless talks on the Deputy Chief Minister's post stems from the recent political dynamics within the alliance between the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and his Jana Sena Party (JSP). Despite being the only Deputy Chief Minister in the current cabinet, Kalyan has been vocal about his commitment to public service rather than political power. This stance is emphasized in the face of growing demands from within the TDP to elevate Naidu's son, Nara Lokesh, to the Deputy Chief Minister position.

The demands for Lokesh to be made Deputy CM have been driven by various TDP leaders who argue that he has proven his capabilities and deserves recognition. This has led to public statements and endorsements from several TDP members, including politburo members and MLAs, who believe Lokesh should be given a more prominent role in the government.

However, these demands have created a political stir, with some TDP leaders expressing dissatisfaction over Kalyan's assertive actions in the cabinet, such as his surprise raids and public comments on law and order issues. These actions have been seen as overstepping by some TDP members, further fueling the calls for Lokesh's elevation.

In response to these developments, Kalyan has reiterated his focus on serving the public and has urged restraint on discussing the Deputy CM post, emphasizing the need to avoid unnecessary political discourse. This stance aligns with his broader political message of prioritizing public service over personal or party power dynamics.
