Chiru Politics: Will he or won't he talk on Telangana!
While Chiranjeevi launching a political party is still a political speculation, an interesting discussion is on as to what his stand on separate Telangana State could be.
Some political observers say Chiranjeevi would not start off his political career on a controversial note by coming out with a stand on Telangana State -- for or against. He will remain non-committal, but would focus more on other issues like social justice and eradication of corruption in high places etc. And that he would consolidate his cadre strength first before talking about issues like Telangana. At the most, he can refer to the backwardness of Telangana and might promise to undo the justice done to the region in appropriate manner.
However, another section of political observers are of the view that there is no way Chiranjeevi can aspire to become the Chief Minister, without supporting the cause of Telangana State formation. The sentiment in the region for a separate State is too strong and Chiranjeevi cannot just ignore that. If he wants to make a wave in the State politics, he has to announce his support for Telangana State and indicate in his manifesto that he would push for an Assembly resolution on Telangana immediately after assuming power. Ultimately, it will be in the hands of the government at the Centre to carve out a separate State. And it will take two or three years to divide the State. Till such time, Chiranjeevi can be in power and even if the State is divided, his party can rule both the States.
If Chiranjeevi announces support for Telangana, it would also decimate the Congress and the TRS at one go, since the people of Telangana are vexed with style of functioning of TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao. Just because there is no alternative party, which has espoused the cause of Telangana, they are supporting the TRS. But if Chiranjeevi supports Telangana, the TRS would face a tough situation.
