Why did Ali ask for a ministerial post?


Tollywood comedian Ali knows his moves. He knows where to pause and where to resume. He knows where to stop and where to act. It is this quality that made him an evergreen performer. No wonder, he is in the industry for over four decades and is still going strong.

Ali always has a fascination for politics. Earlier, he was with the TDP. Ahead of the 2019 elections, he joined the YSRCP. He met YS Jagan and promised to support him. He had campaigned actively for the party in the 2019 elections. Even during the 2019 elections, he expressed willingness to contest for an MLA seat. However, YS Jagan told him to wait for some time. He assured Ali that he would be given an MLC post.

He has now met YS Jagan and reminded him of the promise. He openly told him that he wishes to serve under him as a minister. He made his desire to become an MLC public even as there are several claimants to ministerial posts in the party. Also, there is a talk of a possible cabinet reshuffle in AP. Ali’s expression of desire at this state is being seen as significant.

Ali is also involved in doing social service activities with the focus on Andhra Pradesh. Sources slso say that Ali’s image would become a plus factor for the YSRCP in 2024. Let’s wait and see if YS Jagan rewards his staunch supporter or not.
