A beleaguered congress party is looking for a star campaigner in the GHMC polls and there are indications that Chiranjeevi’s services might be enlisted for this purpose. Telangana PCC President, Uttam Kumar Reddy indicated as much when he said that national leaders of the Congress including Rajya Sabha member Chiru, would be approached to garner support for the Party. As a politician, Chiranjeevi has been a complete failure to date. But his star power might help Congress bag a couple of seats at least in constituencies where the Seemandhras are in significant numbers.
But of late, Chiru has not been actively associating himself with any activities of the Congress in AP. So, will he now get back to active politics and help out the Congress in Telangana or would he just prefer to ride out the rest of his term as Rajya Sabha MP? The Congress lost out on a golden opportunity when they allowed KCR to walk away with the entire credit for the formation of Telangana.
Although there is no negativity against the Congress in Telangana, for want of a charismatic leader, there is no positivity towards it either. People are just indifferent to it! Chiru’s campaigning might just be the shot-in-the arm, the party is looking for. And the irony of it all would not be lost on anyone either. An Andhra film star helping the Congress come to power in Telangana!
