Chiranjeevi stumped by PR analysis

Hyderabad, April 30: The Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi was stumped by his partymen’s assessment that the Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, would lose to party candidate Mr Subramanyam in Kuppam.

Chiranjeevi, who reviewed likely electoral gains, losses and other related issues with the party’s Assembly and LS candidates, was given a rosy picture about all constituencies.
He was told by Chittoor Lok Sabha and Assembly candidates that the party would win seven seats and that even the TD chief might lose to the party candidate in Kuppam. The actor-turned-politician was reportedly taken aback.
“If your assessment is correct, we will get not less than 240 seats. I was wrong in saying that we will get 160 seats. Please don’t give out information as you do to the press. I want a fair and correct assessment of things and not an exaggerated one,” he reportedly commented when told that Mr Naidu would lose to their party candidate.
“Your correct information will help me to restructure the party and plug loopholes,” he added.
He reportedly blushed when a party leader from Kadapa stated that the party would win five Assembly seats. In another extreme statement, the party spokesman Mr Vinay Kumar said the party would form the government and the swearing in ceremony would be held on May 17 with Chiranjeevi as CM!
