The chairman of Andhra Intellectuals Forum Chalasani Srinivas usually appears before media whenever a crucial incident happens politically. And most importantly, his detractors say, if anything goes against the ruling TDP, there appears Chalasani.
When Janasena chief and Power Star Pawan Kalyan convened public meets demanding special category status to AP, Chalasani, strangely, demanded Pawan Kalyan and other opposition parties to fight for the special status. On the contrary, he would never raise his voice against the TDP in protest of special status.
As mega brother Nagababu expressed his hope of reunion of mega brothers for the Janasena's victory in 2019, Chalasani appeared in news channels and demanded Megastar Chiranjeevi, Power Star Pawan Kalyan and other other stars of Tollywood to fight for special status. Analysts say, TDP strategically, using Chalasani to target opposition parties. "He maybe roped in as a TDP's MLA candidate in 2019's elections on caste grounds," predicted some of the analysts.
