For a long time, the BJP has been trying to induct Chiranjeevi as the BJP’s chief and star campaigner but Chiranjeevi rejected the offer bluntly.
If at all Chiranjeevi joins the BJP, the party gets strengthened by leaps and bounds in the AP state.
Recently Chiru met PM Modi and now Shah the HM along with his son Charan.
Chiranjeevi was supposed to join the BJP before the elections, but Congress put him in charge of the election campaign for AP, so he dropped the decision at that time.
Moreover, his brother Pawan Kalyan became a hero in Andhra Pradesh and got close to Narendra Modi. Pawan Kalyan sent feelers to his brother and asked him to join BJP and Chiranjeevi responded positively.
Senior BJP leader and Union Minister Kishan Reddy, who arranged meetings between the Telugu actors and Modi, is mediating to get Chiranjeevi into the BJP.
As the BJP wants to strengthen its roots in Andhra Pradesh, it can use both Pawan Kalyan and Chiranjeevi to do so.
Seen in a very practical light, it is very likely that it may take another 10 years for the Congress to come back into the limelight in AP, so joining the BJP will make sense for Chiranjeevi, . If everything goes according to plan, Chiranjeevi may announce his decision. But the BJP must know that the people like Chiranjeevi as hero and not as a politician.
