If megastar-turned-politician K Chiranjeevi is of the view that he can have a safe and secure political career in the Congress party, he is thoroughly mistaken.
The real test for Chiranjeevi’s leadership qualities is going to begin just now.
The resignations of 26 MLAs owing allegiance to YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy are likely to be accepted anytime and there would be by-elections in the next couple of months.
As the Congress party is gearing up to face the by-elections, the party leadership is believed to have decided to use Chiranjeevi as its trump card.
As per the plan, Chiranjeevi would have to tour extensively in all the constituencies going to polls, rejuvenate the party cadres and address public meetings. He should not only bring coordination between the Congress and the erstwhile Praja Rajyam Party cadres, but also ensure that no other leader from the party joins the YSR Congress. Thus, there is going to tremendous burden on him in the next few months.
At this stage, Chiranjeevi cannot even think of launching his 150th film again. He should set aside all his film plans and focus on the Congress politics. And there is no guarantee that he can take rest for some time and take up acting even after the by-elections; as there might be more major political developments in the state!
