The news about Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Ajit Singh joining the UPA coalition has brought cheers to the actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi.
As Ajit Singh is all set to take oath as the union minister, it is expected that Chiranjeevi will also get a call soon to join the central cabinet.
The UPA leadership may have shown remarkable speed in wooing Ajit Singh into its fold because of the imminent elections in Uttar Pradesh, the development has come as a blessing in disguise for Chiranjeevi who has been waiting in the wings to get the reward.
Though the Congress leadership had promised him that he would be given a position befitting his status and image, it has been a painful wait for him, so much so that his erstwhile Praja Rajyam Party colleagues expressed their anguish over being ignored by the Congress.
Thanks to UP development, Chiranjeevi will be a collateral beneficiary. It is said that he would be given Minister of State with independent charge. Later, he would be nominated to the Rajya Sabha from Andhra Pradesh. In tune with the promise made by the Congress leadership, at least two erstwhile PRP legislators would be inducted into the Kiran Kumar Reddy cabinet.
