Kishan Reddy Responds to Speculation on Chiranjeevi Joining BJP
New Delhi: Union Minister Kishan Reddy addressed media questions regarding the speculation about renowned actor Chiranjeevi potentially joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during a Sankranti festival event at his residence in Delhi. The event, which was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chiranjeevi, sparked media inquiries about the actor’s political future.
In his response, Kishan Reddy emphasized the respect BJP accords to Chiranjeevi as a leading figure in the entertainment industry. He clarified that the actor was invited to the event as a distinguished guest but refrained from making any definitive statements about Chiranjeevi’s potential entry into the BJP. His comments left the topic open-ended, neither confirming nor denying any political developments.
Turning to internal matters of the BJP, Kishan Reddy discussed the party’s structured approach to leadership selection, noting that the process begins at the mandal level and extends up to the national level. He mentioned that the selection of district presidents is currently underway, highlighting the democratic and transparent framework the BJP follows in its leadership decisions.
Kishan Reddy also took the opportunity to criticize the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), alleging that it operates as a family-centric party with predetermined leadership choices, contrasting it with the BJP’s democratic approach to internal decision-making. His remarks underscored the BJP’s commitment to a system where leadership roles are earned through a structured electoral process, in contrast to what he described as the undemocratic practices of the BRS.
