Pawan Kalyan Demands Relief For Uddanam Kidney Patients In 48 Hours  

Actor, Janasena leader Pawan Kalyan on Tuesday demanded immediate relief for kidney patients and the children of those died of the disease in Uddanam village in Srikakulam district.

The power star arrived in Ichchapuram to meet the hundreds of kidney patients affected by some mysterious reasons for about two decades. After interacting with the patients individually, Pawan said it's a shame on the governments which had just ignored such a serious calamity. "They come here for votes during elections and just forget them once they win," he remarked.

When the government was ready to spend Rs100 crore on Pushkaralu, it's very painful that the same government is not willing to allot a few crore rupees for finding a remedy for this problem, the power star said. He demanded that the government announce a releif package for the patients and the children of those who died of the disease within 48 hours. The children should be given financial aid for their education and patients should be provided with medical care, he said.

Pawan Kalyan constituted a five-member committee of the party to study the reasons for the epidemic of large scale kidney disease in the area. Once the report is prepared, I will personally go the chief minister and find a permanent solution to the problem, he assured.

The actor-politician, however, said that he was not doing all this for political mileage.
