Young Telangana Devotee Walks Barefoot for Pawan Kalyan Until Victory: The Story of Chatta Satish
In a remarkable display of personal devotion and political admiration, Chatta Satish, a young man from Kondagattu, Jagtial district of Telangana, has attracted statewide attention after undertaking a unique vow in support of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party President Pawan Kalyan.
For nearly a year, Satish has been walking without wearing footwear, pledging that he will not put on shoes again until Pawan Kalyan wins and he personally meets him. His extraordinary commitment gained further visibility on Wednesday evening, when he finally met the Deputy Chief Minister in Mangalagiri and expressed his long-held admiration.
A Promise Born on a Historic Day
According to Satish, his vow was made on January 22, 2024, the day when the Prana Pratishta of Shri Ram Lalla took place at the newly constructed Ayodhya Ram Mandir. Emotionally moved by the spiritual significance of the day and deeply inspired by Pawan Kalyan’s ideals, he took an oath:
“I will not wear footwear again until Pawan Kalyan garu wins and enters the government. Only after meeting him personally will I end this vow.”
What started as a personal spiritual commitment soon reshaped his entire daily life. Satish continued attending work, traveling, participating in social activities and even visiting functions all without shoes in the heat, rain and harsh roads of Telangana.
Deep Roots: From Praja Rajyam to Jana Sena
Satish’s admiration for Pawan Kalyan did not begin recently. His association goes back to the Praja Rajyam era, when he was an active participant in the Yuva Rajyam wing — the youth arm of the party.
He says that Pawan Kalyan’s political philosophy had a deep impact on him, particularly:
- Politics that bridges caste divisions
- A movement without religious discrimination
- A leadership style rooted in nationalism over regionalism
- A commitment to justice, equality and the upliftment of the common man
These principles, which eventually evolved into the Seven Ideological Pillars of Jana Sena, strengthened Satish’s belief that Pawan Kalyan’s leadership represents a path of social reform rather than political ambition alone.
Walking Barefoot: A Test of Devotion and Discipline
For nearly 11 months, Satish’s vow shaped his everyday life. Walking without footwear in Telangana’s varying climate is not just uncomfortable it is physically taxing. Yet Satish says he felt strengthened by his goal:
“Every step without shoes reminded me of the leader I believe in. It is my way of showing gratitude and commitment.”
His family initially opposed the vow, concerned about his health and safety. But seeing his unwavering determination, they eventually supported him, though still worried during festivals and long-distance travel.
Neighbors, friends and even strangers often stopped him to ask why he walked barefoot. His consistent reply gained him attention on social platforms, where videos of him walking barefoot went viral in local circles.

On Wednesday evening in Mangalagiri, Satish’s long journey reached its emotional peak. He met Pawan Kalyan, who is now serving as Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh after Jana Sena’s historic performance in the 2024 elections.
Witnesses say Satish became emotional the moment he stood before the leader he had admired for years, explaining his vow and barefoot journey. Pawan Kalyan, known for his empathetic interactions with supporters, listened with attention and encouraged him warmly.
Satish later said:
“Meeting him felt like meeting a guiding force. I kept my promise. Now I can wear shoes again.”
The moment marked the completion of his vow, symbolizing loyalty not anchored in political gains but in personal admiration.
A Symbol of Devotion in Modern Politics
Satish’s story stands out at a time when political loyalty is often measured through online support or party membership. His vow reflects a deeper, almost spiritual connection many followers feel toward leaders they believe can bring real change.
For observers, Satish represents:
- A citizen driven by ideological alignment
- A youth inspired by values rather than slogans
- A supporter willing to undergo personal sacrifice
- A reminder that sincerity still exists in political spaces
His commitment has generated a wave of appreciation online, with many praising his discipline and emotional honesty.
Why Pawan Kalyan Inspires Such Loyalty

- Clean politics
- Social equality
- Anti-corruption measures

Conclusion: A Personal Journey That Became a Public Inspiration
Chatta Satish’s vow, journey and eventual fulfillment reflect a story far beyond politics. It is a reflection of human commitment, emotional integrity and the power of inspiration in modern public life.
While many trends appear and disappear on social media, Satish’s story stands as a reminder that devotion, when rooted in genuine belief, can push individuals to extraordinary limits even something as simple yet profound as walking barefoot for nearly a year.
