"Chiranjeevi and Allu Aravind sold out MLA and MP tickets and earned lot of money from PRP during general elections, 2009.". This is the stereotype criticism that has been being heard numerous times from yellow media, TDP and YCP's leaders for a long time.
But then, is there any truth in that statement? Let's analyse.
Politicians such as Posani Krishna Murali, Janga Gautham and Shravan did play active roles in Megastar Chiranjeevi's PRP then. Post the merger of PRP into the Congress, Posani has been busy as an actor while Gautham and Shravan joined the Congress and TRS parties respectively.
Had they really bought tickets from PRP, they could have blasted on Chiranjeevi and PRP in subsequent days. But then, even today, they remain loyal to Chiranjeevi. All of them openly said they hadn't given single rupee to the party for tickets.
Top politicians like late Bhuma Nagireddy, Ganta Srinivasa Rao and Krishnam Raju also played significant roles for party's victory then. Until today, none of them, utter a single world of criticism on Chiranjeevi and his party.
Not only above top leaders but also all other MLA and MP contestants of PRP have never made those allegations.
On the contrary, in spite of giving tickets to multi-millionaires from upper castes, Chiranjeevi gave more than 100 tickets to BCs. Even then, people couldn't trust PRP and the credit goes to Goebbels propaganda done by pro TDP yellow media and other political parties then.
A decade has run out. Power Star Pawn Kalyan's Janasena is fast emerging as a leading political force now. Entire picture with regarding to yellow media appeared to have changed now. With the emergence of social media and Whatsapp groups, people could read between the lines. They are making out dark secrets of yellow media. As such, they felt yellow media houses are harmful to the society. Right now, peope are gradually getting enlightened to know which is right or which is wrong. That's why, Goebbels propaganda will not work for upcoming general elections.
