Visakhapatnam: Actor-politician Chiranjeevi is all set to bid adieu to the Congress party, over its "unethical" tie-up with the TDP. It is said that Chiranjeevi has already discussed this matter with members of his family and could make a formal announcement soon.
According to reports, disagreement has been raised in both the parties over this sudden coming together of sworn political rivals for over three decades. Senior Congress leaders have already articulated their dissent, and former ministers, Vatti Vasanth Kumar, Pasupuleti Balaraju, C Ramachandriah and others have quit the party over this alliance, finding it unacceptable. Reports state that actor-politician Chiranjeevi may follow in their footsteps.
Earlier, Chiranjeevi was doubtful about continuing in politics after his Rajya Sabha term ended in early April. This immoral alliance, as some Congressmen have termed it, has reportedly helped him firm up his decision.
Furthermore, he is said to be deeply unhappy over not having been consulted over this alliance between the Congress and its bete noir in Andhra Pradesh, Telugu Desam Party.
