Chiranjeevi’s political career reminds me of movies that we wish had a different ending. When announcing his entry into politics, Chiranjeevi cited one reason being the desire to “try his hand” at it. I consider that as adequate justification. However, he could have “tried his hand at politics” very differently.
For example, instead of starting a new political outfit, what if Chiranjeevi had driven down to Lok Satta Party’s offices and said, “I like your political emphasis on governance and professionalism. I want to join your party but be much more than a “star” campaigner. How can we work together?” It is my belief that Jayaprakash Narayan or Chiranjeevi would have been the state’s next Chief Minister. A more seminal change would have been the reform of Indian polity.
For such an ending, I would have joyously cheered from Lakdi ka Pul.
