Name of the party: Praja Rajyam (Ok wait, is that the name of the founder's next movie also??)
Founder: Chiranjeevi (Oops!, Mega Star Chiranjeevi)
Ideology: Fight political corruption “at the top” (On top of what?!)
Agenda:Socialism and empowerment of the poor and downtrodden (If you really wanna empower them; then start by not calling them downtrodden)
Launch: Avilala Tank grounds, Tirupati with thronging followers who arrived in 18 special trains. (At the cost of throwing normal life out of gear)
Flag:White and Green hoisted by a physically challenged youth. (Am I in a telegu movie theater?)
Will support: The telegana (Wow! Now what happened to the socialism promise?)
More Promises:
1. A scientific assessment of categorization of the Scheduled Castes (Of course, another Sachar committee report)
2. Consult intellectuals before arriving at a decision. (Do you really want a comment here?)
Silver lining:Favor of industrialization
Clichés:
“I am your servant and not your leader.” (You can start by getting off the dais)
“My parents looked after me for 22 years, but you have been carrying me for 30 years on your shoulders” (30 years were a punishment enough. Did we have a choice??)
Verdict:Shows all signs of becoming a political joke.
Moral: Will actors ever learn?

Why this sudden plunge into dissecting current affairs? Not bad, I should say :P. Leave Chiranjeevi alone! How dare you say anything about my childhood idol? Grr!
Jus kidding. Well, he's making the most of whatever residual influence he has over people. He's huge during our childhood, but unfortunately our generation is not the hero-worshipping one that the previous one was.
Though we fondly remember his super-duper hits, I don't think any of us pretend that he could be a good politician/leader. The time of single-person parties has ended with NTR and MGR, and I think there is no more gullible public to be taken for a ride.
Sure, they will turn up for meetings in buses, trains, whatever, but then, I would bet most people come out of curiosity. When it comes to actually voting, the current parties, Congress and TDP, are way too powerful to cede an inch of political ground.
Probably he'll get a few seats, but I don't see his party ever becoming a major player. He'll probably good for a few alliances and enhancing the glamour quotient of an already established party.
Finally one more entry into " I too ran" community. Hope this ends there and he does not actually ( sic) end up in the CM's chair.
@Vamsee
Definitely. The very fact that DMDK, VIjaykanth's party in TN could win only one seat, itself shows ppl cannot be deceived that easily anymore. At the same time, remember TDP's USP is NTR even today.
@Suresh
Thats what we all hope for. :)
