Chiranjeevi fans miffed at being 'sidelined'

Desaraju Surya Hyderabad, Sept 26 (PTI) Barely a month into its existence, Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi's party Praja Rajyam seems to be bogged down by internal strife with fans alleging of "getting" a raw deal.It seems fans of the star are miffed at being "sidelined" by the politicians who are apparently trying to hog the limelight in the company of Chiranjeevi."We are getting a raw deal in the party," president of a district Chiranjeevi fans association lamented at the Praja Rajyam party office here today.Ironically, senior political leaders who jumped into the actor's support leaving their parent parties too aren't exactly happy with the state of affairs in Praja Rajyam.The coterie around Chiranjeevi is reportedly trying to "dictate terms" even to seasoned politicians, who earlier held important positions in their parties as well as the government. Now, some of such leaders are apparently regretting their decision to join hands with Chiranjeevi."It's a different kind of mess out here," one former minister told PTI. "People here seem to have lot of air about themselves. You don't find such a situation in any political party," he pointed out.Also enthusiastic people, who are thronging the Praja Rajyam office in Jubilee Hills here to catch a glimpse of Chiranjeevi are literally being necked out by over-zealous security personnel.This has become a "routine" affair at the party office, the people complain.
