Are These the Real-Life Pushpas? Is Pawan’s ‘Gabbar Singh List’ Targeting YSRCP Leaders?

By TeluguFunda / November 9, 2025

Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan’s fiery warning to Red Sanders smugglers has sparked intense political debate in Andhra Pradesh. His recent statement that he would crush the smuggling network with an iron foot has set the stage for a major political storm.

Speaking to the media, Pawan revealed that he has information about four major kingpins operating in the Tirupati region. He issued a stern warning, urging them to halt their operations immediately, or be ready to face tough action. His remarks, coming from one of the most influential figures in the state government, have become the talk of political circles.

Observers note that Pawan’s comments reflect a blend of spiritual conviction and environmental responsibility, indicating that he intends to take an uncompromising stand against the illegal trade.

CM Naidu’s Backing Behind the Move

According to sources, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is said to be backing Pawan’s mission wholeheartedly. It is believed that Naidu is aware of the involvement of certain YSRCP leaders in the Red Sanders smuggling operations around Tirupati. Encouraged by this information, he reportedly tasked Pawan with leading an aggressive crackdown.

Known for his determination and refusal to bow under pressure, Pawan is said to have been chosen for this “big task” precisely because of his uncompromising nature. Under Naidu’s direction, a special task force has been deployed, with Pawan personally overseeing the operation.

Operation Kagar & High-Tech Measures

Reports suggest that Pawan is introducing new measures such as barcoding red sanders trees to prevent illegal felling and transport. He also plans to grant full operational powers to the task force. During his recent address, he even mentioned “Operation Kagar,” hinting that if necessary, encounters against hardcore smugglers would not be ruled out.

Since his announcement, fear is said to have gripped the smuggling network in Rayalaseema, with several operatives reportedly going into hiding.

YSRCP Leaders Under the Scanner?

Pawan alleged that Red Sanders smuggling peaked during the previous YSRCP government. His claim that four YSRCP leaders may be involved has stirred speculation though no concrete evidence has yet been made public.

Meanwhile, political chatter is rife comparing the situation to the Pushpa movie universe. Questions are now being raised: are there real-life versions of Pushpa Raj, Kondareddy, Mangalam Srinu, and Murugan behind this illegal empire?

As curiosity builds over who these “four kingpins” might be, the state’s political circles are buzzing with names and theories. One thing, however, is clear Pawan Kalyan’s entry into the fight against Red Sanders smuggling has not only sent shockwaves among smugglers but also shaken the political establishment across Andhra Pradesh.
