Actor Chiranjeevi to launch a political party

HYDERABAD: In a development that could alter the political landscape in Andhra Pradesh ahead of the 2009 assembly and general elections, the much-dithering mega star Chiranjeevi has finally decided to take the political plunge. A close aide of Chiru, as he is popularly called, told TOI that an announcement to this effect would be made by the megastar himself, by the New Year. The aide, who is closely involved in the charitable activities of Chiranjeevi, said the actor took the decision after consultations with his well-wishers and important leaders and intellectuals. "Chiru thinks the time is now ripe to take the plunge. All his doubts about the political campaign have been cleared. The pressure to lead a third alternative force has been mounting on him," the aide said."

Chiranjeevi Tirupati rally clear all hardles from Supreme Court..

Chiranjeevi pelupu...The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to prevent Chiranjeevi from holding the Tirupati rally to launch his political party much to the relief of the actor and his aides. Acting Chief Justice B.N. Agrawal refused to entertain a petition by the Tirupati Intellectual Forum which said that the rally on August 26 would spoil the banks of the Avilala tank in the temple town. The SC’s green signal for the mega rally spread jubilation in Chiranjeevi’s camp, which is preparing to celebrate the actor’s 53rd birthday on Friday. In a free-wheeling chat with mediapersons, he urged fans not to come to Hyderabad to wish him. He also assuaged leaders waiting to join his party that they would be treated well. Chiranjeevi confessed that he did not understand politics but added that he had been successfully running a blood bank without knowing much about the science of blood. “But I know it can save lives and similarly, I also know I can serve people by entering into politics,” he said.
