This is the hot topic now. Let's see the pros and cons of Chiru entering politics. First of all, is Chiru a good leader or good politician?
There is lot of difference being politician and leader. Chiru has enormous charisma that he can generate masses to follow him, which makes him a good leader. The way Chiru reacted for Mohan Babu's comments on Vajrotsavam may not make him a smart politician. One good thing before the speech is Chiru took time to react to Mohanbabu's comments may be its someone (?) else idea to do so.
Undoubtedly Chiru has the mass-following similar to NTR during 1983. His larger than life image is 'Na Bhutho Na Bhavishyathi'....
Andhra Politics:
Right now there is a lot of buzz in AP on BCs (I wouldn't say political party as there are many people who are not united on one front) and Kapus from Andhra region are emerging to be a major power players. BC leaders definitely need a leader (not politician) to take the "gathering" to masses. That's may be one reason they are pursuing Chiru to enter BC Aikya Vedika.
Why is Chiru waiting?
Chiru has very smart and best advisors (or advisor) around him. There is still more than 2 years for next elections. If Chiru enters now into Politics, he might as well lose his following by the time the elections are due, which is what NTR did entering politics (creating party) before 9 months of election. People at this point are fed up with both Congress and TDP. They are looking for someone whom they can believe, whom they can relive on. My assumption is that, Chiru will definitely enter politics. The timing is very important. Logically, he might enter a party before 6-7 months of election. He might not start a new party as it requires lot of money and resources. He might not join TDP or Congress as he knows that they will just use him for their benefit. The only best possible option is Lok Satta, as it is being backed by a powerful community and has a very good reputation in people. Lok Satta now needs a charismatic leader like Chiru. All Chiru needs is a genuine party with "believable" idealogy. The type of position Chiru is in now, he does not need to enter politics to make money. He is at a stage where he enjoys success and already crossed many phases of life. So NAME is more important to Chiru.
Larger Than Life:
The charitable trusts started by Chiru help thousands of people and motivate lakhs. He has to do many more things like this for a social cause. People believe Chiru for what he is and he has lot of charisma.
May be, he has to start a website where NRI fans/audience can donate money. Chiru can use this to fund his activities of charity.
In a nutshell, Chiru will definitely enter politics, timing is very important.
