Seemandhra rejects, Karnataka embraces Chiranjeevi

His role in the bifurcation saga may have cost him his fans in Seemandhra, but he still has many admirers in neighboring Karnataka.  

On Monday, when the star attended a rally organised in Chickballapur, he received a grand welcome.  The response must have acted as a balm for him, as he was deserted by his own fans in Seemandhra some weeks back, during Congress's 'Bus Yatra'  

In that tour, many chairs at the venues remained vacant. The yatra was dominated by police personnel and a few fans were seen. However, people from Chikkaballapur did not disappoint him.  

The buzz in the political circles is that it is better for Chiranjeevi to plan his political future at Chikkaballapur, Tumkur and Chitradurga which are contiguous with Andhra Pradesh,  and have a strong Balija community.  

The Congress High Command which entrusted Chiranjeevi with the task of getting the crowds, seems to be happy with this response.
