Chiru-Pawan face-off?

The alleged rift between brothers Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan, the two powerful faces of Andhra Pradesh politics and films, is back to the fore. This time the rift seems to be out in the open when the latter avoided a vis-a-vis with the former during the muhurat of Varun Tej's debut film that took place Today (Feb 27, 2014) in Hyderabad.

Amid reports of Chiranjeevi vying up for the Chief Minister post, Pawan Kalyan avoiding a face-to-face interaction with his elder brother gained much significance in both film and political circles. That's not all. Taking everyone by surprise, Pawan abruptly decided to walk out of the event without informing Chiru and others. "Pawan Kalyan left the venue even before Chiru's speech to media and fans," said an eye-witness. This even surprised many of the fans who were present there.

Pawan is apparently quite saddened the way Chiru is heading in politics. Kalyan is of the opinion that Chiru must quit his Union Ministry post and quit Congress as the party played with the sentiments of people of both regions. "Pawan had been reluctant to the merger of Praja Rajyam Party into Congress. He always wanted Chiru to stay away from Congress. If Praja Rajyam Party would have been alive now, the scene of present Andhra Pradesh and the upcoming elections would have been totally different. If Chiru is so much in love with Congress, he should have acted like Aam Aadmi Party who just had a tie-up, rather than merging it. Above all, still Chiru is with Congress which might not go well with Pawan. Kalyan might be wanting Chiru to quit Congress and restart Praja Rajyam Party at least now," pointed out a political observer. Andhra Pradesh politics would turn interesting if Chiru resumes PRP. Of course, that's still far from the reality. Let's see whether Chiru and Pawan call for truce by burying their hatchet.
