Chiru To Stay In Cong, But Not Active!

Megastar Chiranjeevi, whose Rajya Sabha membership came to an end last month, has not been in active politics for the last couple of years after he made a re-entry into films.Though he was a Congress MP till recently, he had not been participating in party activities at all. Even on the last of his term in Rajya Sabha on March 28 when the Upper House gave a warm send-off to all of them, Chiranjeevi was nowhere to be seen.

People have almost forgotten him as a politician but enjoyed his comeback into films with Khaidi No. 150 and are eagerly awaiting release of his next film Sye Raa.Now that his term as an MP is over, it is not clear whether he will continue in politics or confine himself to films.However, latest reports from New Delhi say Congress president Rahul Gandhi had called up Chiranjeevi and offered him AICC secretary post. He requested the megastar to campaign for the party in Karnataka elections.

However, Chiranjeevi reportedly told Rahul that he would remain in the Congress party, but would not like to be active at least for now, since he was busy with his film shooting.He assured that he would step in the party activities, when it was really needed.Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president N Raghuveera Reddy expressed hope that Chiranjeevi would soon return to active politics, soon after completion of his ongoing films.

“We want him to contest the next general elections,” he said.
