This year's Andhra Pradesh elections were significant for Pawan Kalyan’s family, with his brother Naga Babu and other relatives backing him. Allu Arjun faced criticism for supporting a YSRCP candidate. Niharika Konidela recently addressed the rumoured feud in an interview with M9.
When asked about the family's reaction to Allu Arjun supporting Silpa Ravi Reddy in Nandyal, Niharika Konidela said, “We didn’t discuss it much at home. Everyone has their own reasons and choices politically, religiously, and spiritually.”
She also clarified that a tweet from her father was not about Arjun but rather his opinion on another matter. Niharika added, “For me, it’s always family first, and I can only speak for myself,” choosing not to comment further.
Pawan Kalyan contested the Andhra Pradesh elections from the Jana Sena Party, in alliance with Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party and the BJP. He is now serving as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
