In what was being seen as the strong fort of the Telugu Desam Party and the Praja Rajyam Party, the film glamour and strength that they have owned are now finding their matches in the Congress too. A prelude to this came up in the past 48 hours when Yuva Samrat Akkineni Nagarjuna was seen flashing on the small screen circuits making his appearance in the Congress ads and sharing his wisdom on the 'Arogyasri' and 'Indiramma' schemes. This has given a good jumpstart to the Congressmen who are confident that Nag will be with them till the elections.
For now, Nag is not to be seen anywhere since he is off the hook busy with the shooting of his film 'King' and his appearance on TV turned out to be a thorn in the flesh for the Chiru camp in a way. Apparently, both Nag and Chiru happen to be partners of the MAA TV and perplexed by this move, some from the PRP camp point it to the land in the Annapoorna studio that is being targeted for more commercial purposes and Nag has struck a deal in this fashion. History states that Nag had supported the TDP in a rather undertone manner way back in the year 2004 and now with his sliding towards Congress, the balances have changed for sure.
Firstly, it is the caste bank of the 'Kamma' community that would get cut and this means part of TDP's share is gone, moreover the appeal of Nag amongst the womenfolk is another part of the cake that will be snatched away from Naidu's house.
To top this all, if Congress is successful in getting in 'Prince' Mahesh Babu to campaign for them then it will be not one but Titans who will give TDP and PRP a run for their votes. However, Mahesh has been eluding this aspect for quite sometime while his father superstar Krishna has already given his thoughts openly by creating the 'Krishna-Mahesh Sena' newly. As it is, Krishna's brother Adiseshagiri Rao is an active member of the Congress party so he has been doing his bit to get Mahesh into the loop.
With accessory support by folks like Srihari, Jeevitha, Rajasekhar, Jayasudha and other names Congress has surely beefed up enough ammunition in their camp this time and are using the 'cine glamour' card to its correct advantage. While the 'Nag' missile has struck the opposition camps by surprise, it remains to be seen how many more aces YSR has got up his sleeve to win the four year Jackpot of power and politics.
