The APCC president, Mr D. Srinivas yesterday said that film actor Chiranjeevi's entry into politics would not affect his party. "Everyone is talking about his entry except Mr Chiranjeevi," he said. "Let him announce his party. He is a nice person. We welcome him. Congress is strong enough to take on many parties," he added.
Mr Srinivas also welcomed the statements of the Union minister, Mr Arjun Singh and the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Mr M. Karunanidhi supporting Mr Rahul Gandhi as Prime Minister.
Participating in a meet-the-press event organised by the Andhra Pradesh Union of Working Journalists, the newly-appointed PCC chief who completed 20 days in office asserted that there was no change in his commitment to the cause of Telangana and expressed his desire to wear four khandwas once again in the 2009 polls too.
