Has Chiru Lost Interest In Tirupati?

Congress leader K Chiranjeevi seems to have lost interest in his home constituency Tirupati, after merging his Praja Rajyam Party with the Congress.

During his visit to Tirupati on Thursday, perhaps the last visit in the capacity of the local MLA, Chiranjeevi was least bothered about the problems facing the constituency.

When womenfolk pulled him up for not coming to Tirupati regularly and attending to the constituency issues, Chiranjeevi turned a deaf ear towards them and left the place in a huff. Unlike in the initial days, he did not even conduct a meeting with local civic authorities to know the local problems.

Adding to his woes, there were clashes between the Congress workers and erstwhile PRP workers in his presence. The Congress workers are yet to acknowledge Chiranjeevi as their leader, while the PRP workes are unhappy over the merger. And Chiranjeevi has not made any attempt to bring both the groups together.

That he has lost interest in Tirupati is also evident from the way he has shifted his merger meeting to Guntur. And he has already hinted that he would be quitting the assembly seat as early as possible.
