Yuva Rajyam: Pawan Kalyan to head Praja Rajyam's youth wing

While Chiranjeevi is preparing for the elections, he is ably supported by his family members who have given him support in every way possible. In a recent development, Chiranjeevi named his younger brother, Pawan Kalyan, head of the youth wing which has been named Yuva Rajyam on Sunday.

With the launch of Chiranjeevi's political party Praja Rajyam, many young Telugus have come forward to support his cause. Seeing this, Chiranjeevi decided to launch a youth wing that would be headed by his brother. A Praja Rajyam party member commented that Pawan Kalyan's latest hit, Jalsa, gave him the image of a left-wing thinker.

In reply to charges of appointing only family members to important posts within the party, Chiranjeevi said Pawan Kalyan wasn't made Yuva Rajyam's leader because he was Chiranjeevi's brother but because of his highly developed sense of social awareness. “He has concern for the poor and those who are in pain. His social awareness is reflected in his films too,” said Praja Rajyam Party President, Chiranjeevi.

Pawan Kalyan for his part said that he would not contest the elections but concentrate his energies on  building the youth wing.
