Chiru party, no for Telangana?

Megastar Chiranjeevi has more or less decided to take a stand against formation of separate Telangana State.
Chiranjeevi's brother Nagababu on Sunday gave enough hints to this effect. Nagababu, who confirmed to mediapersons that Chiru is indeed entering politics in August, observed that "annayya" always wanted that the people of Andhra Pradesh remain united. "Certain selfish forces are adopting the "divide and rule" policy, practiced by the British before Independence, to divide the people of Andhra Pradesh in the name of caste, religion and regions. We are of the view that the people should remain united and maintain the integrity of the State," he said.
Is it not enough to indicate that Chiranjeevi would advocate the integrationist policy? In fact, Chiranjeevi waited for the outcome of the recent byelections and it gave him a lot of relief. He is now confident that he could attract the people towards his party, without even uttering a word on Telangana State. At the most, he can show sympathy towards the backwardness of Telangana and might promise to strive for its all round development.
