The recent election season has seen several celebrities from the film industry actively campaigning for their preferred political parties. However, Allu Arjun's campaign trail has been marred by controversy, making him the most criticized among his peers. Instead of supporting his close relative, Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan, who was contesting from Pithapuram, Allu Arjun chose to campaign for his friend Shilpa Ravichandra Kishore Reddy, a YSRCP candidate from Nandyal.
The icon star's visit to Nandyal was deemed unauthorized, as he failed to inform the election officials and the police, sparking a backlash from the Election Commission. A case was filed against him, and he also faced criticism for organizing a bike rally with hundreds of fans, which was seen as a violation of election norms.
The Mega family and fans were quick to react, trolling Allu Arjun on social media. In an attempt to salvage the situation, his father, Allu Aravind , rushed to Pithapuram to greet Pawan Kalyan, accompanied by Ram Charan and his mother, Surekha.
Unfortunately, Allu Arjun's efforts seem to have been in vain, as his friend Shilpa Ravichandra Reddy is trailing behind in the Nandyal Assembly constituency. According to the latest updates, Telugu Desam candidate N Farooq has defeated Allu Arjun's close friend.
In a bid to avoid repeating the same mistake, Allu Arjun promptly congratulated Pawan Kalyan on his victory in Pithapuram via a social media post, within minutes of the announcement. This swift response has sparked discussions in the industry, with many wondering if Allu Arjun has learned a valuable lesson from his controversial campaign trail.
