Chiru Elopes With Chandrababu After Elections

Politics is not only the art of the impossible but it also makes strange bedfellows. A staunch loyalist becomes a rival overnight and similarly, a sworn enemy joins hands – all this not to serve people but only for some cheap political gains. The TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu is a master at forging opportunistic alliances. When the BJP was doing well, he latched on to them and retuned to power. He later dumped them and is now wooing the communists. The prospect of Chiranjeevi entering politics is now sending tremors everywhere. While some say that Chiru will hurt the congress, others say that Chiru's entry will damage the TDP. But what is little known is that both Chiranjeevi and Chandra Babu are good friends. Babu's wife Bhuvaneshwari and Chiranjeevi's wife Surekha are also good close family friends. So after the next assembly elections, if Babu falls short of a majority, he will not have much difficulty in forging a tie-up with Chiru or take his support, say insiders.
