Chiranjeevi announces about his entry into politics


The suspense over actor Chiranjeevi’s political entry seems to have come to an end. The actor announced on Tuesday at an informal gathering of a few select reporters that he will launch a political party soon.

"After August 15, the announcement will be made," the star said. Talking to a few mediapersons at his film production office in Jubilee Hills, Chiranjeevi was confident that his party will win 225 seats on its own in the General elections. He said that the media speculations about his political career since 1999 made him consider entering politics. He evaded questions on his party’s name, flag and agenda and said that he would meet the media very soon to reveal all that. He disclosed that there were around 20 names under consideration for his party.

Chiranjeevi indicated that he would announce the party through a media conference and there would a public meeting in Hyderabad and Tirupati after that. Though mediapersons questioned him about a separate Telangana, categorisation of SCs and Kapu reservations, the film star evaded a direct reply and said that he would go to people to know their thoughts. Responding to a question, the filmstar said he had not yet finalised from which constituency he would contest and added that he was ready to contest from any of the 294 segments in Andhra Pradesh.
