During the recent elections, Janasena President Pawan Kalyan went to campaign in East Godavari and fired on YSR Congress Leader, Kurasala Kannababu. Pawan Kalyan almost said Kannababu is one of the leaders who ditched Chiranjeevi during the Praja Rajyam Days and vowed to defeat him. But fate has some other idea.
Pawan Kalyan lost from both his seats and Kannababu won becoming a Minister in YSR Congress Cabinet. It is now emerging that Chiranjeevi has reached out to Kannababu when the YSR Congress Government is sitting on the file of Permission for the extra shows of his magnum opus film, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy.
Only after Kannababu spoke to the Chief Minister, the Permission was accorded hours before the release day. And as a result, the movie got to a bumper opening. It looks like Pawan Kalyan has misunderstood Kannababu. We also saw Chiranjeevi going to Kannababu’s house a couple of months ago and consoling him after his brother’s demise.
Kannababu who was a senior journalist in Eenadu took a plunge into Politics with Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam. He won as an MLA and there were rumors that he is one of the leaders who convinced Chiranjeevi to merge PRP into Congress. After Bifurcation, he deserted Congress and contested as an Independent only to lose. After the elections, he joined YSR Congress and won as MLA to become Agriculture Minister in Jagan’s Cabinet.
