PRP President and erstwhile leading actor K Chiranjeevi has started his 4-day campaign for the Congress in Kadapa today. This is the first time that he has campaigned for the Congress party in AP, since aligning with the Congress.
He started his campaign in the town of Kamalapuram in the Kadapa district, and addressed a large gathering this morning.
While garnering support for D L Ravindra Reddy and Y S Vivekananda Reddy, the Congress' candidates for the Kadapa Lok Sabha seat and the Pulivendula assembly seat, he repeatedly slammed Y S Jaganmohan Reddy in his campaigning speech. He said that the by-elections were the result of Jagan's greed for the CM seat.
Reacting to Chiranjeevi's campaigning in Kadapa, actor-turned-politician Rajasekhar stated that commenting on Chiranjeevi was equivalent to hitting a dead snake. "He merged with the Congress because he was incapable of managing his own party."
