The rise and fall of Megastar Chiranjeevi in politics should be a lesson for aspiring politicians from cinema industry. Chiranjeevi’s gestures in the recent past shows that he is in complete blank state of mind with regard to his political prospects.
Only face saving is his Rajya Sabha membership. After this Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, Chiranjeevi is likely to concentrate more on his personal businesses as he would have nothing to speak and act.
At some point, Chiranjeevi may also regret for the merger of Praja Rajyam Party with the Congress, without much thought on the long term political implications and strategies of Congress leadership on AP division.
Chiranjeevi’s statements and actions on AP division also made him a joker in the minds of Seemandhra people. His rallies did not find any takers in Seemandhra. As congress is heading for 4th or 5th position in Seemandhra, what is in store for Chiranjeevi in active politics of AP?
Sri Chiranjeevi K., the film actor who created PRP raised lot of expectations among people of Kapu/Telaga/Balija community in Andhra Pradesh that he would be installed as the first Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh belonging to Kapu community just as late Sri N T Rama Rao rose to power in nine months after establishing the Telugu Desam Party. It is here the PRS creator over estimated his stature and capacity vis-a-vis the stature of late NTR whether personal or film industry. Further, he proved himself as ‘Aarambha Soora’ by merging the PRS with INC, thereby smearing the face of entire Kapu community with permanent black colour once for all. It is certain that he has no future even in film industry as a film actor. It is high time that he should learn a lessor for life that caste politics have no place in Andhra Pradesh except for short term and selfish gains.
