“Chiranjeevi will not make any difference to Telangana”: Vijayashanti

That was what former actress and Telangana Thalli party leader Vijayashanti said, at a recent interview to a television channel. The actress, who during her acting days, shared a successful onscreen chemistry with the megastar is apparently not very happy with the formers entry into politics. “What difference does it make? People from Andhra do not understand the plights of the Telangana people. Many people from that side have floated political parties and seem to cater only to their population. Even most of the film industry people, who made their bread and butter from the money put in by the Telangana people, did not do their part and support the Telangana movement.” Vijayashanti argued vehemently. On being asked whether Telangana people will support Chiranjeevi’s party, Vijayashanti counter questioned “Who do you think they will support? Their own son or somebody else’s son?” Vijayashanti also attacked the media accusing them of glorifying the Andhra political scenario and neglecting the efforts made by political parties that support and work for the progress of the Telangana region.
