"Although Chiranjeevi has been appointed the union minister of state for tourism with independent charge, he may not do this job for more than one year, as he is likely to be offered a key post in the AP state after July, 2013", say the inside sources. According to them, the Congress high command felt Chiranjeevi would need a seniority of one year as a union minister to get the key post so as to avoid criticisms from the senior politicians of the state. As per protocol, Chiru's present post and AP key post are almost the same.
WHAT IF THERE ARE MID TERM POLLS?: "At this juncture, no political party in the state is willing to go for mid term polls. Even if the elections are possible, by forthcoming summer, Chiranjeevi will immediately be taken to the AP key position. The congress party in fact, wants to make use of every single vote from Chiranjeevi's vote bank", say the sources. However, since these are purely gossips, we have to wait for the real future political developments in the state.
