The Union Minister for Tourism and Megastar Chiranjeevi's absence at the inauguration of 'Prapancha Telugu Mahasabhalu' left a big shock to many people and political analysts. Being the minister for tourism, Chiranjeevi should have attended at the inauguration of the event, where the President Mr.Pranab Mukherj, the CM of the state and other dignitaries were present at the venue.
However, it is heard that the CM wanted to make his presence felt at the event and so he wanted to show his mark in the 'Mahasabhalu'. He knows his tenure as a CM may not last long. If Chiranjeevi attended the function, obviously he would dominate the show, as he is the most liked Telugu man of AP today. So, CM himself reportedly asked Chiranjeevi to stay away at the inauguration function and requested him to attend the closing ceremony of the event. Chiranjeevi too, has reportedly given his nod to CM's request. Having seen Chiranjeevi at the closing ceremony of Telugu Maha Sabhalu, many of his supporters felt that the 'Maha Sabhalu', at last, got respected by the presence of darling of Andhra.
