Allu Arjun’s father-in-law Kancharla Chandrasekhar Reddy is an active politician based in Nagarjuna Sagar segment. He was with BRS for a long time and was hopeful of getting the Nagarjuna Sagar MLA ticket and he even held a huge public meeting in the area before the election campaign as a show of strength. At one point, he said Allu Arjun is ready to lead a political campaign for him.
But Chandrasekhar Reddy was gutted after BRS neglected him and gave the MLA ticket to Nomula Bhagath. But it didn’t take too long for him to contemplate his options as he has decided to wave a goodbye to BRS and shift to Congress.
Chandrasekhar Reddy cordially met CM Revanth Reddy recently and discussed his political views. After the satisfactory meeting with Revanth, he is likely to join Congress party and is hoping to get the desired Malkajgiri MP ticket.
Chandrasekhar Reddy is a deep-pocketed leader and he could be of great influence to any party. Him joining Congress before the Lok Sabha elections would definitely be of good help to the ruling party considering his capability to fund political campaigns of Congress.
But Malkajgiri is an important Lok Sabha segment and it has many aspirants in Congress and in fact, Revanth Reddy himself was the sitting MP here before he became the CM. So it shall be seen if Congress will decide to give this much desired MP ticket to a new joiner like Chandrasekhar Reddy.
