Popular Telugu film actor Dr. Rajasekhar and his wife Jeevita on Monday charged Praja Rajyam Party president K Chiranjeevi of targeting Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy as he was unable to digest the rising popularity of the upcoming leader.
Talking to media persons at the office of the Film Chambers, the actor-couple alleged that Chiranjeevi had adopted the dubious policy of divide-and-rule during his days in the film industry, too.
They couple alleged that the PRP chief had sold party tickets to candidates before the 2009 elections to raise funds. They also charged that Chiranjeevi had duped his fans by selling blood donated by them to the camps set up by the PRP.
Rajasekhar and his wife alleged that the PRP chief has no character, and that he lacked the moral right to criticise Jagan.
They also alleged that the actor-turned-politician had extended support to the Congress party with an eye on sharing power. Rajasekhar warned the PRP chief to mend his ways or risk seeing his party being relegated to a footnote in the state's political history.
