Chiranjeevi was dragged into political discussions by fans and media even though he doesn’t utter a single word on his political motives. According to rumours, Chiranjeevi is in consultation with his close aides regarding his political plans and he may announce his new party after Sankranthi festival. As per sources, he wants to start a political party with new agenda with the help of young and dynamic leaders. But political hopefuls and opposition leaders are trying to place “Kapu card” on Chiranjeevi. It is interesting to see how Chiranjeevi can handle this caste image which was imposed on him even before he enters into politics.
Political observers are asking few interesting questions:
1. Is there any space left for new political outfit?
In 1983, NTR easily came to power just within 9 months of Telugu Desam inception due to huge political vacuum.
But Chiranjeevi can win if he can successfully mobilise “unhappy communities” with new agenda. He may face problems in Rayalaseema and Telangana but he may emerge as largest party in coastal Andhra. It will be difficult for him to sweep polls as NTR did in 1983.
2. Can Chiranjeevi emulate NTR?
NTR used his charisma, exceptional oratory skills, media and political vacuum to the maximum to decimate Congress party. Congress leaders underestimated NTR’s ability and paid the price.
But this time, TDP and Congress are not underestimating Chiranjeevi. But Chiranjeevi created good image among people through his social activities like blood banks and eye banks.
Chiranjeevi may not get media support as it was enjoyed by NTR in 1983. Congress and TDP may do anything to spoil his political aspirations.
3. Can BCs support Chiranjeevi?
NTR came to power by successfully combining Kamma’s money power and BCs statistical power (number). Can Kapu + BC alliance come to power? We have to wait and watch.
4. Can he get support from non-Kapu fans?
It is the most crucial question. If fans from other castes (except Kapu and BC) support him politically, he may easily win 2009 assembly elections.
According to my small survey in Ongole, 30% of fans from other castes are not supporting his political ambitions. They want to see him as “Andarivadu” but not as “Kondarivadu”.
5. Available time:
NTR had just 9 months in 1982 but Chiranjeevi has 18 months to win next Assembly elections.
6. Political rivals:
NTR has lesser rivals in the state in 1983 but he faced charismatic leader like Indira Gandhi. Chiranjeevi has to face strong local leaders like Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy and Chandrababu Naidu in the state to win polls.
We have to wait and watch his political moves before coming to conclusion. Will Chiranjeevi really enter politics?
Please share your opinion.

A CORRECT TIME FOR YOUNGER GENERATION.
Chiranjeevi should enter politics and should bring in a change. He should either have his own party or join hands with BSP and other sections to command maximum votes. However he should build a strong experienced selfless support team both politically and personally to sustain the dirty political games. He should first analyze all the lessons learnt in all the failures of different weaker section leaders and fronts as they are bound to confront him as well. All kinds of tricks and pressures will be played on him his party and supporters by the established players once he enters the game. He should be well prepared to counter all of them. In any case his entry is a welcome idea as this will really change the state politics positively like NTR did about 25 years ago. This will also enable larger sections of people who are away from power to come into power in a democratic way.
The idea of Third Front, whoever has conceived it, is not more valid at any other time than it is now. The two major caste based political parties (one based on Reddy caste and another on Kamma caste) in the State are indulging in wordy duels in the Assembly and are stalling useful issues. It is stating the obvious that these parties are vying with each other to draw the attention of the public for good scores in the forthcoming elections.
Eenadu stongly favours and support Telugu Desam party which was interestingly agreed by it Managing Director Ramoji Rao others newspapers like Vaartha (The news paper run by Girish Sanghi, Industrialist and director of Sanghi industries who joined Congress party during 2004 elections) and Sun Network(which owns Gemini and Teja channels) favor the congress party. This Press/media bias towards politics is not limited to the state of AP. YSR often openly threatens media. He justifies corruption comparing to previous Telugu Desam rule.
Like Mahatma Gandhi who played the major role in driving British rule out of India if Chiranjeevi enters the politics and by Gods grace if our public supports him not by looking his Cine image alone but also his social service then it is no wonder that he can do something better than todays dirty politicians. They publicly blame each other just for votes. But any chiranjeevi fan or a average common man with good thinking capabilities can understand who is really stupid and who is not.
i am observing that all media want to show just chiranjeevi garu belongs to some castthis is not good.He is "ANDARIVAADU".YES definitly he is good person and he is only the person to change this dirty politicscaste based politics. We belive in that he will definetly do very much better than these governments.please all support HIM to change OUR lives.

Neither chirenjivi nor any body else, cannot do any thing as CM. People need some change in the system of politics. before change in the system of politics people has to change their way of picking up the leader. They have to think what thay want and what they are expecting from CM. we can not choose a CM just because of he got a good fam in society or based on caste.
I don't think chirenjivi not mature enough to lead Andhra Pradesh. may be his fans should know reel is not a real.
Now it seems the fame of chiranjeevi is developed all by himself and his fans. A real person or his followers will not turn violent on such small comments like the one done by rajasekahar.
The main reason for this kind of violence are several movies that are recently released by chiranjeevi followers in the industry or his own.
These films contain dialogs like "Don't keep with chiru fans, they will tear u down!!" Many films contain these sort of dialogues which increases the violence and superiority in fan associations.
I directly blame the actors who encourage these sorts of activities.
NTR won the love of people by doing good to them and not by forming associations like these which threatens the peaceful society.
Chiranjeevi is not the wind of change .
Firstly good post...
We have seen lot of people so far comming in to politics and left no where.1 or 2 exceptional. When it comes to chiru i love him on screen but not as a politician.
I never voted i wont even vote if mega-star comes. I hates caste system, he is also sailing on the same boat. Making a political move is nothign but making a selfish move. He cant be a CM if just his fans vote him
Hi Friend,
He is a good social server. But he is not good as a leader. He is the person who doesn't have control over his family. This is not his personal crazy but it is news driven craze. I am not apposing him but he con't rule the people.
Thanks
Chirangeevi is afraid to enter politics, if he want serve people, construct party and reveal his agenda
not at all.NTR has the charisma and attracted by all the telugu speaking people.No one can beat him.It was proved in a survey conducted by a popular news channel earlier.
The real time situation demands a change in political scenario of our entire Nation
If Chiranjeevi has to live upto the expectations of his fans and people of Andhra he has to Sacrifice his rest of his life
I would rather say the Chair of Chief Minister is more responsibility than power
There are few issues that everyone should think of
Is it easy to take up Chair of Chief Minister without experience in Politics?
Is this time of an year enough for Chiranjeevi to go through the problems that our State is facing?
How Chiranjeevi is going to react on split of state?
What would be his Statergy to improve infrastructre facilities, Agricultre, Poverty, Illiteracy, unemployment?
In every phase there is a challenge
It depends how quickly Chiranjeevi could actually set up with his team
There is a big challenge of choosing right people at right places will he have that time to choose right people
More people now a days generally think of voting to an Intellectual who can really understand the situations and solve the problems
Can Chiranjeevi find 150 such people
If he does then undoubtedly he can be a revolution in the POLITICAL SCENARIO OF ANDHRA
Naren, although your rather long post states interesting facts, I hope you do understand that most of what you have written counts towards "Hope" rather than "Reality". There is nothing wrong in dreaming of a perfect world, but it takes a lot of naivety to think that somebody will build it for you. I would first like to start off by stating that I am staunch TDP supporter for my own reasons and that I am a Kamma (not by choice). Whether those reading this feel it is my caste preference that causes me to lean this way politically is completely up to them.
Pointing inconsistancies in your post, TDP is not a Kamma party. If you choose to make classifications, TDP is the ONLY party that has the best mix of caste and gender in AP, period! To label the party Kamma because of its leadership is incorrect at various levels. As an educated person, I am sure you are aware that you should choose a candidate based on their capability rather than their caste. To think that Chiranjeevi will somehow be the solution to all problems because you have seen him do a few good things on the silver screen is absolutely outrageous. Chiranjeevi is definitely a gentleman and humanitarian, but it takes more than that to be a leader. For example, I could walk down the street from my home in india to a slum, and choose to start helping those needing it the most. And I could keep doing this for years! But that does not automatically qualify me for any sort of political position, because I know I am a person of major flaws, as is everyone else. For one, I tend to be very emotional. Chiranjeevi may enter politics as a "NEED" more than by "CHOICE". A person of his economic status needs to be close to the Power teet of the state to protect it. What better a way to do this than to be part of the political system itself. I know I would do it. The same explanation serves for news papers that you deem to be religiously/caste affiliated. If you can show that a News Paper prints because its affiliated political party tells it to do so, I would agree with you. But this does not happen. Newspapers mostly avoid/downplay or overstate news items based on their affiliation. There are papers that completely fabricate news, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out they are of cheap journalistic quality. Please try to relate with what happened when NTR came to power. Did we prosper, NO! The reason not being that he dint care, but that he dint know how to do it. He was just a man of words and unrealistic promises. look at where the 2 Ruppees a rice bag scheme took the state treasury. Chandrababu, in my opinion is still truly the only decent choice as far as governance goes. Chiranjeevi may turn out to be a good leader too, but please, make sure he is capable of it in the first place by letting him serve at a lower level first! These are LIVES we are talking about, not a fancy caste competition! And to those of you who think a separate Telangana will help, You are dead wrong! The rich will still be rich and the poor will still be poor. You are only going to make it easier for them to make it happen. United we stand, Divided we fall. Learn to love your neighbor and fellow citizens and judge them by things they have NO control over, like their caste!
I think chiru doesn't have the charisma and also not so commited to politics if he is the issue will not be dragged for such a long time. he also can't be a good leader because he can't even anounce his party in public on his own and is creating speculations with the help of his relatives which is not the quality on expect from a leader. he can be a part of a party but not a leader of a party.
CHIRU WILL END IN A SITUATION LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO VIJAYKANTH N TAMIL NADU... NO ONE WILL VOTE TO CHIRU'S PARTY OTHER THAN HIS FANS... THIS IS ALL HYPE CREATED BY FANS.. RECENTLY SURVEY REVEALED HE GOT ONLY 10% OF BECOMING THE CM...
HE CANNOT REWRITE NTR'S TDP RECORD... THERE WAS ONLY ONE PARTY(CONGRESS) DURING 1980'S, WHICH GAVE NTR BIGGEST ADVANTAGE.. TODAY TELL ME HOW MANY PARTIES WERE THERE? MAY BE MORE THAN 6 PARTIES... CONGRESS, TDP, BJP, CPM, TRS, AND OTHER SMALL PARTIES....
we cannot compare chiranjeevi with NTR

hi every one here as cheranjeevi is not for the society as first follow the saying let clean your house first then clean the road as look at his family which will be kicked by fan only very soon

daugther had 5-6 affairs for fun with drivers ,maid party hunks etc.........
finally todays channel i had seen T CHANDRASHEKAR joining his party people in AP dont know about him. a person use his power wrongly as he is most corrupted IAS in states thats the reason he was on leave for 9 months ............................................he ditched a lady whom he loved and lady made him prepared for CIVILS she is now in australia ....................
he had affiars with mumbai BARGIRLS
earned money from all level of contractor in MAHARSHTRA
yes chiru is next cm
First of all people are making a big Hype of Chiru entry into politics.He is a super star no doubt but cannot be a politician.He cannot even receive a coment on him infact through Pavan kalyan he sends rowdies create nonsense who ever coments him.He should learn that in politics everything happens he should make it a habit.
Politics is different and Cinema is different people come to see him but they will not vote him.Tirupati meet was like a chiru movie morning show ,people have created nonsense they never treated him like a leader but like a star only.
people who are around him are making a hype and targetting CM’s chair, for Chiru’s Information it is not that easy to cross YSR,Naidu,KCR etc and then get 220 seats,it will be chiru’s dream.I am not against Chiru but what ever i am writing its a fact every one should understand it practically. Today politics has become a profession. candidates who cannot buy seats in Cong,TDP,TRS are jumping into Prajarajyam because its very easy get seats or posts. But its not that they will be into power its a day dream. Chiru should first interact with senior level intellectuals. As far as Chiru is concerned, Allu ,Nagababu,Pavan Kalyan,Mitra are the only well wishers and intellectuals,why cant he stop Pavan Kalyan talking nonsense and create confusion in every ones mind. Its looking like a family affair. If he is compared to any other star that doesnt make any sense. EVARI TIME VARIDI. He and the people of AP should know and keep in mind what had happend to Sivaji Ganeshan in Tamilnadu,for the information of readers sam thing happend with Sivaji in TN he himself lost the deposit. Chiru is not Bigger than Sivagi and TN people are more into movies and follow the stars by building temples. SO its a caution to Chiru do not make it a family affair,other wise this will be a big bang in your life during your bad period.
If Chiru wants to become a sensational politician he should first publicly say STOP CORRUPTION,he should request the people not to pay bribes at any level in Police stations, Govt Officers / Offices.If at all any one asks for bribe pls call so and so mobile number (should advise a contact number ),Prajarajyam party cader will be at your rescue,if he does this he will soon become a Balasaheb Thackeray in AP to the CM’s chair it will be a cake walk. But he cannot do it ,he cannot make such a statement,It was not possible with ABDUL KALAM,how can we expect from Chiru. One thing I can predict as on date if the elections a held by Dec 2008 Chiru will get 12 seats if it is in March he may get 20 seats including his,he will again starts acting in movies one day.
Sorry for the interruption... But according to the grapevine.... Congress has encouraged Chiranjeevi againest TDP. But when their plan boomeranged and they saw that Chiru is actually cutting into Cong votes they paid him a hefty sum and sent him to the oblivion. Thats why he cancelled his tour abruptly!!!!! Any takers???????????? Thila paapam thala pidikedu.........
What do you say andhrites?????????? such filthy politics??????????????
plz plz dont compare chiranjeevi with Great legend NTR
I posted an Article to Vaartha few days back regarding this issue. I am expecting it soon. May be, The Editor in Chief will consider my article.
Chiranjeevi in politics? Fine. He may be the next CM by fluke,you never know. Everybody expects him to bring a revolution in today's sleazy politics "BUT" if he gets people from other parties like Congress & TDP nothing can be accomplished.Pople migrating from other parties haven't plucked anything then & wouldn't now. Don't understand why doesn't Megastar give an oppurtunity for some of his well educated Megafans???
