Chiru To Get Elevation In Cong?

Chiru To Get Elevation In Cong?

The Kapu phobia seems to be haunting even the Congress party, with the Telugu Desam Party as well as the YSR Congress party vying with each other to woo the powerful community in the coastal Andhra.

While TDP is making every effort to appease Power Star and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan to retain its hold on the Kapus, the YSR Congress party has also started wooing the Kapu community by roping in veteran director-actor Dasari Narayana Rao.

Apparently realising that it would be the biggest loser in the race, the Congress party bosses are breaking their heads to do something to attract at least part of the vote bank.

At present, the only strong Kapu leader with the Congress party who can secure some votes for it in the elections is megastar-turned-Rajya Sabha member Chiranjeevi.

There were reports in the past that Chiranjeevi is not happy in the Congress party and that his brother Pawan Kalyan is trying to bring him into the Bharatiya Janata Party.

In a bid to prevent the damage, the Congress high command is said to be contemplating elevating Chiranjeevi’s position by giving him a prominent position in the party.

Sources said Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi suggested taking Chiranjeevi into the Congress Working Committee during the proposed reshuffle of the AICC and the CWC in the coming days.

That would be a big recognition for Chiranjeevi at the national level and it would help the party regain the confidence of Kapus. May be, the party feels Chiru might fetch some seats in Andhra Pradesh in the next elections.
