Why Ramoji Rao is after Chiranjeevi?

There are media reports that media baron Ch Ramoji Rao is trying his utmost best to bring film actor Chiranjeevi to politics. Though the media baron had not said anything in public, rumours are rife that he is for the entry of the film star to fill up the political vacuum in the State. There are also reports that he is fed up with former chief minister and Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu. After propping up former IAS officer and Lok Satta leader Jayaprakash Narayan without any much success, he is said to be keen on the entry of Chiranjeevi.

The film star and the media baron hail from two different social groups and yet the latter is said to be in favour of Chiranjeevi.This raises the basic question, why he is in favour of the film star? It has become clear that Chandrababu Naidu has lost his political teeth and there's remote possibility of the TD returning to power in May 2009 (as things stand now). If the Congress retains power, it simply means in other words that yet another five years of trouble and politcal harassment for the media baron. It is better to prop up the film actor to defeat the Congress so that there will be a political breather and a sort of support from the new political party.

The major hurdle in realising the dream is the film star himself. So far he has not made his mind open. No one knows what Chiranjeevi is thinking about jumping into political arena. Unless and untill the film star opens his mouth, rumours continue to fly, giving political entertainment to voters.
