Ever since MP Chiranjeevi has been included in the Union Ministry, some of his rival groups heaved a sigh of relief as they thought Chiru's ministerial post was the end point of his political growth and he would have to be stayed in New Delhi forever.
However, things seem to have not worked out well in favour of their wishes. Recently, Chiru did 'Padayatra' along with Raghuveera Reddy in the state. Chiru also convened a meeting with the media at the time of assembly sessions. His antis wondered why Chiru was staying in AP despite his Union Ministry. Meanwhile, there is a strong buzz among some of the Chiru's close associates that Chiru would be roped in as the CM of AP even before the general elections, 2014. "Chiru's frequent tours in AP are said to be strong indications for this gossip. That's why his rival groups are worried of Chiru's AP tours," says a political analyst.
