Telugu film actor and Mega Star Chiranjeevi begins political career
Hyderabad, Aug 11 (IANS): Andhra Pradesh politics took a glamorous turn Monday with Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi beginning his much-awaited political journey by inaugurating the office of his party. He will formally launch the party later this month.
Chiranjeevi told reporters that he would launch the party "before the end of this month" and would make an announcement "in a couple of days". The actor, who had so far confined himself to social service, is launching his party when the state is gearing up for the elections scheduled early next year. The posh office built in the upmarket Jubilee Hills neighbourhood was inaugurated by the actor in the early hours Monday in the presence of his family members, close aides and two rebel leaders of the ruling Congress party and the main opposition Telugu Desam Party. Amid chanting of Vedic hymns by priests, the office was opened at 12.50 a.m., as per the ‘mahuratam’ set by astrologers. The family performed special prayers to seek divine blessings. The function was held in secret and the media was not invited. However, as the word spread about the actor’s arrival, a large number of his fans and media persons gathered outside. Dancing in gay abandon, the actor’s fans raised slogans and expressed their confidence that their hero would be the next chief minister
