Latest buzz doing rounds in the political circles is that the Congress high command is planning to depute megastar Chiranjeevi to campaign for the party in Kadapa by-elections.
Chiranjeevi, who recently campaigned for the Congress party in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry assembly elections, is expected to make a whirlwind tour of Kadapa in the last week of April.
The campaign schedule for Chiranjeevi is getting ready, Gandhi Bhavan sources say.
Apparently, the Congress leadership is of the view that Chiranjeevi can make at least a marginal difference for the party prospects with his campaign in Kadapa. It is not only because of his filmy charisma, but also because of the caste factor that Chiranjeevi is expected to make some impact.
There are a large number of Balija votes in Kadapa, which form the solid vote bank of Praja Rajyam Party. And if Chiranjeevi can divert their votes to the Congress, it will reduce the Jagan influence, party sources feel. But the question is whether Chiranjeevi has any spirit left in him to appease the voters.
