Its a good positive direction to find CPM and Lok Satta visualizing the Chiru's poltical view and willing to join hands with him.
Loksatta has always visioned a better Andhra pradesh and CPM has always been a Pro-Poor party .
It is too early to say it will happen especially with the current media ( call it "media maphia") where most of the big media barons( including press and telivision) have tied up with political parties as their flag bearers - they can easily play spoilsport by comments like " CPM wooing Chiru" , "Lok Satta Behind Chiru" , "Chiru behind Lok Sattta " to ensure that the matters become more of sensitve and turn out to be more of self pride there by spoiling things.
But overall in what we have gathered from people the opinion is that it will make the effort to "change the present system " even stronger and it is a win-win situation for Chiru , Loksatta and CPM if they share a common platfrom and prioritise people needs as primary objective.

prajarajya prabhanjam is ON- you accept it or not.
Its sounds so funny, when some people stating that "they donot see any reason why chiru is floating a new party" that summarises how they are into people.
It is even more funny when they say that "Chiru ki konni vishayalalo spashtatha ledu" ( meaning, chiru doesn't have clarity in some issues ) - some of these leaders are 9 years in power and some are 4+ in power and the sarcastic thing is that "ee nayakulu spashtatha theesuku raaru "( meaning These leaders dont want to bring clarity to these issues) for vote bank reasons.
12 + lakhs of people thronged to Tiruapti to witness the new face of Andhra People , millions dint move a bit till the inspiring speech is over , national Channels like NDTV, CNN-IBN have declared the prabhanjanam as "Andhra Political Tsunami" and have clearly expressed the view that they have never witnessed such adoring people and predicted only a matter time when "Chiru is the cm" is going to be the truth .
Mantra of AP Politics - What is this "Social Justice" is all about?
If you are observing AP politics recently one word you wouldn't have missed is Social Justice (Samajika Nyayam).
What is this all about?
To say in political temrs it is BC Votes.
Why everybody utterring this?
This needs some explanation.
Total AP has around 9 crore population.
The break up of this as per sections (roughtly):
OC 27%, BC 50% and SC and ST (23%)
The SC and ST always get their share of political importance as they have reservation in Parliament and Assembly. While BCs has reservations in education and govt but they don't have in Parliament and Assembly.
So though they are the strong majority (half way) they are getting only 10 to 15% of seats in most of the parties.
Chiranjeevi coming into the pictue, the sole possilbe BC CM in state, all the parties are kind of worried about their BC votes. A possible shift on the section basis (this is not caste as there are 100 castes in BC and these section are half of AP - really cant call it is one section also).
So everybody started wooing them say CBN declared 100 (33%) seats for them and YSR said (plus one - 101).
Obviously you never know what they are thinking actually because they are in to all possible jobs /bussiness / agriculture etc and everybody has their own priorities.
One thing is certain that all eyes are on BCs.

Is Chiru agenda leaked 1 year ago?
Again this is my guess.
Just if you have followed the developments of AP Politics recently we witnessed lot of parties coming up. My focus is mainly on JP's Loksatta and Mana Party of Gnaneswar. Chiru agenda sounds like essense of these two. Development + Reforms + Social Justice.
It may be quite possible the big parties in state might have leaked the Chiru agenda and started campaining about them early using some their followers. Who is pumping whom I have no clue, of course you can guess. If this is the case they want to hizag the Chiru's USPs and make him kind of nothing new.
But similarly Chiru might have insriped from the current problems and kept them in their agenda. Which will include the TRS and NTPP telangana stand was also seems to have accomodated by Chiru.
Anyway truth can't be hidden to much time in politics. It might come out soon.

Is Chiru inspired by Jaya Prakash Narayana?
This doubt is coming to mind after following the Tirupathi meeting.
Most of the items in agenda are sounds inline with JP barring the "Samajika Nyayam". All the other things education, health, argiculture, critical view of subsidies (he didn't mention any subsidies like free power, free rice or free gas), anti corruption, political reforms etc looks like that of JP.
Interestingly the name of the party is "Praja Rajyam" transilation of "Lok Satta".

Is the toughest phase of Chiru's has started?
Yes, I mean it. Until today it is only enthusiasm and exuberance all over the state about Mega entry into politics. He has delivered a speech of his life time to Tirupati audience. Everybody is excited about it. Now Chiru fans and others are kind of cooled as he is in politics. This is the time where he is accountable for everything around him and his leaders and his fans.
Nobody can be exicited for too long as I mentioned in my previous article, now everything boils down to organizational efforts not by excitement. How he is able to pump his fans and cadre, how he organizes his campain, what is he going to talk about again and again matters now.
After Tsunami in AP politics now silence everywhere, once the silence break out, the oppositon will start their playing their cards. They will demean, discourage him and his followers, can Chiru cope up with thar pressure, can he keep his cool and right things time will only tell.
I want to quote a famous slogan by Mahatma MK Gandhi,
First they will laugh at you, then they will critisize you, they they will fight with you then you win.

I am not feeling sad for leaving the film industry, but I am happy that a more precious mission is before me for the people. People at present are not happy in the state. I can clearly see that. I feel their strong inside urge for happiness. My political party is the result of their deep felt feelings. I am answerable to their feelings," he said.
Chiru further said: "I don't think I am doing politics even now also. I feel this as a big opportunity to render effective social service. This political party is just a platform, it is like an adharam. Even during 2004 elections, my name cropped up among the public, who desired me to come into politics. Like that, thrice I felt the call. Now, I thought I could delay, but respond to the public at this right time. A feeling as to what should I give to people, and how I have to fulfill their dreams for betterment was continuously felt in my mind," he maintained.
"Andhra Pradesh people will definitely and unanimously give power to those towards whom they would tilt. I don't think there will a hung. Nobody needs to live in poverty.

Thanks for participating in the poll.
I thank all the Chiru is the CM blog readers for participating in the Poll we recently added. Total 23 votes were polled. Tagore was people choice for best Movie of Chiru with 9 votes. While Indra and Rudraveen followed it with 5 and 4 votes.
Tagore, Annayya played a role of figtting agaist corruption, inspired lot of fans as well as news channels to open a Anti Corruption wing in AP as we all know. Indra, Chiru attempt to bring down the faction politics in Rayalaseema also has a place in people's heart. Rudraveena Chiru as a social reformer who puts social equality, liquor free villages and self sufficiency of individuals as priority over art and family was also among people's mind.

Fond memories of chiru on his birthday
Some incidents do remain in memories of people and will have signficant impact on their life.
Chiru too has some special moments to ponder. Once he has shared this in his birthday celebrations:
A 15 year old pregnant lady was traveling along with his 20 year old husband in a horse cart from Mogaltur to Narsapuram. An RTC bus hit that horse cart and she has fallen down. The first thing she did was to verify if the baby inside her womb is hurt. That lady was Anjani Devi and that baby in her womb was Chiranjeevi. On this occasion, Chiranjeevi publicly expressed his love and respect towards his parents and requested his fans to emulate him.

Start of Chiru wave in Nellore?
Chiru party which was not expected to do well in Nellore distric a month ago as per NTV survey, (check out the details in article below). Current trends say that Venkatagiri may be going to Chiru kitty. The Nallapareddy Rajender Reddy contested as independent got around 17K votes compared to N. Rajya Lakshmi 57K. Mahajan paty joing with Chiru also got a decent 6K votes here. Changing political equations causing tremors for the Minister. Also huge section of backward section (contains chiru's section also) are unianimously supporting Chiru. The Tirupathi mahasabha will definitely going to infuence Venkatagiri in big way. Inside sources say that Venkatagiri is already in Chiri kitty. Mrs Nedurumalli Rajyalakshmi is being advised by supporters to find another constituency.
Chiru will spend his Birthday with his mother.
Chiru would be celebrating his birthday on Aug 22 with his mother and family members.
This is going to be a great year for him considering the step he is taking in his life.
Chiruisthecm.blogspot.com wishes the mega star a very special birthday.

Supreme Court Clears Chiru's public meeting
Chiru gets the Supreme court clearence for public meeting at Avilala Cheruvu, near Tirupati. citing the Cheruvu, SC has asked the so called "intellectual forum" as to how can a few hours meeting can disturb its ecology. The earlier ruling was only on banning permanent constructions at that place and not to conduct an ineraction with people.
Chiru's fans are extremely ecstatic with the news.
On hearing this, one was heard saying "Chiru started his winning campaign right from this point."
Another was quoted saying "God has blessed chiru in this . Chiru wanted to announce his vision at a pious place and God is right there behind him. I dont think anybody can stop him".

Andhra Politics A milestone day
Katti Padma Rao, dalit poet and leader joins Chiru party. He got warm reception from Chiru camp which surpriced lot of dalits itself. Everybody expected the first day of Chiru camp will be filled with Jogaiah, Kotagiri and Bhuma etc but all the other political parties are not able to digest the fact that Chiru is becoming a icon of weaker sections. Karem Sivaji of Mala Mahanadu met Chiru and he also willing to join the camp. VGR Naragoni a BC leader also want to merge the BC Sangharshana Samiti into Mega party. Chiru promised a prominent role for BC and SC leaders. This is early good signs for Chiranjivi as he is standing by his words.
AP Politics - Chiru Challenges
Telangana Issue:
The lack of development for more than 50 years in comparision with other parts of AP cause Telangana people to believe they are look down under by the politicians. Telangana has its own struggle for independance from Nizams rule has impact on them to identify themselves separate from the rest of AP. AP is formed by Sri Potti SriRamlu tyagam, while Telangana got inspired by Sayadha poratam. The lack of education, espcially lack adoption of modern cultivation methods , water resorces (partly because of geographically it was diffcult to build on platue and partly lack of initatives from Govt), culturally less stratagic (long term) caused locals to sell most of their lands to Andhra people and becomde labourers there. Lack of strong regional leaders also caused their issues to take back seat. Losts of Telangan people strongly convinced that they will be cheated by AP rulers causes the Telangana issue to burn, but the Telangana leaders like Mr Chenna Reddy and KCR also should be blamed partially for taking political and personal advantage of this. Though everybody understands that Separate Telanga itself doesn't solve any problem, all the problems has to be solved case by case even after separate state. Somehow, some of the people are emotionally attached to separate state movement. So at least it is unfair for anybody to cheat the Telangana separatist people again. Nobody is dare enough to explain thier stand for Samikhandhra, that sums up the story. So whatever Chiru stand, it should be clear and he should be able to convince/advocte his stand. This separation should be done by center so it is difficult for local parties to achive, they can only help/try to get it.
SC Categorization:
SC has two major castes Mala and Madiga. Malas are majority in coastal andhra (80%) while Madigas are majority in Telangana (70%). Madiga's claim that as Malas are in better position than Madigas they are leveraging the benifits of reservations better than them. So thay want a categorization on population basis say both will that take their own share. But Malas are oppsing this mainly it will cause the SC to disintegrate, actually Malas also not developed as the others think and also it will hurt them as some districts they are more than average population.
Minority Reservation:
This is also became contraversory recently by Supreme Court and High Court judgiments agaist reservations on the basis of Religion. Everybody accepts that Muslims are under devoloped, but nobody has the solution except the reservations, which is against the contitution.

Chiranjeevi poltical party announcement - Aug 17,2008
Historical day in the political arena of Andhra Pradesh, when chiru uttered the words - "Manasa Vachaa Karmana… my life is dedicated to the people and in their service".
Its very good first day at office for Chiru , and the moment his voice announced his entry to politics, was an eruption of happiness in the fans , social activists and supporters of him.
In a very jubiliant mood throught the program , Chiru expressed NTR and APJ kalam are the main sources inspiration for him.
Though polticians were guarded in their response to the announcement, most of them have welcomed it. The veteran in Congress -Undavalli , has also said that he personally likes Chiru the most, as he is one of the very few whom you can look for inspiration - The effort he has put , the number of sufferings he has withstood, the amount of dignity he has shown even in the tough times to finally reach this stage in a convoluted environment like cinema shows his stamina to face difficulties and it wouldn't be so hard for him to gauge politics.
He was also feeling bad that in this political world, it may so happen that he has to talk tough words on somebody like chiru.
BJP leader Dattatreya too welcomed the move and looked forward to see the change.
Political analysts too were surpirsed at the matrity shown by Chiru and agreed that it was a very balanced first effort from him..
The meeting with public as posted by us earlier will be on Aug -26 on the Birthday of the great Mother Theresa at Tiruapati. Massive gathering is expected on the 120 acres of area. And about 10 Lacs is the intial expectation.
He concluded saying " Aug 26 , The great Mother birthday rojuna, Nannu nenu prajala mundu aavishkrinchukuntaa....." .Looking forward to the Big Day.

Early ecuberance will daunt whom benifit whom?
The elcetion are due in April 2009. That is due in 8 months. Some say it is very near but it is far if you consider the exuberance in the state. May be this is the stage where people will start forming opinions and taking decisions whom to support. But can you keep people excited for so long? Somehow every political party are gearing up too early for elections, reasons being Resignation of TRS Legislatures, Trust Vote in Parliament and of course Mega entry in Politics. These are effected an early ecuberance in all the political parties in the state. Cong did some started appeasement like 2 Rs/- rice, state wide Arogya Sri, 33% quote for BCs (proposal sent to center) etc, CBN started Mee Kosam, Others like TRS, CPM, BSP are trying to save themselves by joined hands with TDP in the name of Maha Kutami, while CPI is waiting for Chiru.
Most of the ruling party is hoping that Chiru will damage the opposition more than them so they are kind of ready to welcome Chiru. Chiru party has been in the news for more than 6 months now. Everybody want to evaluate the fortune of Chiru party very quickly esp Media, Political Paties, Chiru Fans and other movie and politics observers. If you observe the AP Politics genarally 4 to 5% votes shift against ruling party becuse of anti incumbency. Say NTR won 225 seats in 1999 and CBN won 165 in 2004 a shift of 4% votes, still not enough. In 2004 a dip of 5% more resulted big Cong victory gave Cong 230 seats (incuding partners). Assume same thing now may be slightly less may be they will lose same percentage. Then it would survive with say 160 odd. That would be a simple case. Very few Govt in India (except Tamil Nadu) having won 2/3rd majority lost its avantage. Also my guess people of AP aren't feeling too bad about current Govt may be similar to 1999 if you add up the loss due to partners like TRS and Left. But Cong constantly is working keeping the people perception alive rather than settling down the nerves of people. Full term they are critising the oppsition and their ruling, not missing a single chance, thanks to media. CBN almost ignored the opposition while his term, I am finding difficult to remember what he used to say about YSR before 2004. It is kind of dual role for Cong as ruling party and as oppsition for 1999-2004. Time will tell how far it is a smart approach.
A factor in politics is that politicians manage is making their supporters to hate their opponets. That is TDP supporters hates Congress and same is other way. In most of the cases it became like hatred on others is more than likeing of yours. That is Anti Congress, Anti TDP is more that TDP supporters and Congress supporters. These are stretegic voters like they will vote against Cong or TDP to the winning candidate whoever it is. Anybody who can starts a new force in politics with decent point can get the 10% to 15% votes easily as they are both Anti Cong and TDP. But it will not effect the results.
So whenever a third force come in India it effects in following ways. Assuming the 3 rd force is significant, If one party is strong then the oppostion voters will choose the 3rd force in panic of defeating the stronger one, so it will split the oppostion and strong party will be even more stronger. If two parties are equally strong, then anti voters from both the parties will make the 3rd force strong. More importantly whoever comes 3rd will be distant 3rd. They my exit from that place. That can be 3rd force also.
What is happenning with Chiru entry is vote banks are moving esp in Andhra region. This Chiru's own place, traditionally TDP region and currently Congress region. So the balance is almost same for TDP and Cong. The greater Rayalaseema (including Nellore and Ongole) still with rulers as anti TDP voters are sticking Cong and TDP may be weakening here so it makes Cong even more stronger. While in Telangana (excluding Greater Hyd) have maximum anti incumbency for Govt (due to dissidents from its own party, Telangana factor etc) Maha Kutami showing to be stronger (if it materializes) may cause Cong voters to tilt to Chiru more causing Maha Kutami to be even more stronger. The current equation looking like Kosta - Chiru, Greater Rayalaseema - Cong and Telangana - Maha Kutami and Greater Hyd is of couse a mixed bag of all these and MIM.
After Chiru starts campaining things will start to change, public response, his speachs, the agenda and him promises will dig into the strong holds of other parties then we have to see how drama unfolds. Chiru has to do lot of ground work and meet all the state by the time of elections, but the other parties I think lacs the stuff to do. So they will have to watch Chiru and plan the stratagy accordingly. This may leave them clueless for some period of time. The early exuberance of election may daunt the people who are not ready for activity. Political parties have to be on their toes from now on. It will definitely test their character, will power, money power and musile power.
