At a time when rumours are rife that former MP K. Chiranjeevi is staying away from Congress party activities and is disinterested in attending meetings, indicating that he will soon quit the party, AP Congress President Raghuveera Reddy has made sensational statements saying Chiranjeevi will campaign for the party in Andhra Pradesh.
Raghuveera Reddy’s comments come at a time when there are speculations that Chiranjeevi is upset with TDP-Congress tie-up and is keeping away. However, in a recent TV interview, Chiranjeevi had said that he has been busy with his movies and hence, could not take party actively in party meetings. He also rubbished the rumours on his exit from the Congress.
On the other hand, political circles are rife with speculation that Chiranjeevi might be inclined to his brother Pawan Kalyan’s political activities and hence, is mulling over quitting the Congress to support Jana Sena.
If we go by Raghuveera’s statement, will Chiranjeevi be pitted against his brother Pawan Kalyan in Andhra Pradesh as Congress is also a rival to Jana Sena. It looks like the AP elections in 2019 will throw up several interesting scenarios. Perhaps, a clear statement from Chiranjeevi will ward off the confusion that is plaguing everyone.
