It is about time that Megastar Chiranjeevi is all set to make his entry into the perilous world of politics and while he has been keeping everyone on their toes about his party, vision, agenda and other aspects the political gurus and the experts have already done their home work on Chiru and what could be his future.
Most of them are of the opinion that though he might make a dream debut due to his appeal, the enigma will not last long since this is politics and what counts here is work, service, smartness and strategy. He will not succeed in politics due to various reasons. It is a known fact that Chiru was in no position to reply to Mohan Babu during the Vajrotsavam event and losing his poise, he ended up getting over the board with emotional dialogues. Also, the recent incident of his daughter is also said to be one example of how he could not come to a destination and failed.
He has only charisma but not wit and sharpness to give answers in spontaneity which is a must for politicians and he has no flair like NTR in public speech and knowledge. NTR’s affinity was with big writers and poets like C Narayana Reddy, Kondaveeti Venkata Kavi and others and thus nurtured himself. But Chiranjeevi has no such company to upgrade himself either in speech or in knowledge. He has simply undergone crash course to enter politics, that’s all.
There is also a version that Chiru believes in everyone talking good about him and he is not used to folks talking bad about him. While this philosophy might work well in the film industry or perhaps any other field but when it comes to politics, the first step you take is met with severe criticism and loads of mud slinging. So it is about time that Chiru works on the ground reality situation and works on it if he really wants to become a politician and not just sit in his ivory tower thinking his posters will get him the power in polls.
On a surface, it will take only a miracle and a master plan for Chiru to actually turn things around and counter the political moves by opponents but it is not that easier as it is being said here.
Well, on the other hand there is another thing to underline. NTR was identified among people as Lord Krishna and Lord Rama and hence the masses started adoring him as demigod. But Chiranjeevi is better known for his films ‘Gang Leader’, ‘Gharana Mogudu’ and ‘Rowdy Alludu’. And indeed a few would recall him with Tagore. But will that match to the aura of Late NTR? The other problem that Chiru started facing now is the lack or coordination among Nagababu, Pawan, Dr Mitra and Allu Aravind. And other politicians are saying that Chiranjeevi has no GK at all and he would draw a blank face when asked about Nuclear Deal or to explain about irrigation projects in the state- How Chiranjeevi would face all this has to be seen.
