In a bid to checkmate the actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi and his mentor and PCC Chief Botsa Satyanarayana, the supporters of the Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy have come up with a proposal to promote the producer-director and Rajya Sabha member Dasari Narayana Rao to a higher position.
Kiran’s camp feels that Dasari should be projected as a counter-weight to Chiranjeevi who has gained a better bargaining power with the party high command following the merger of his erstwhile Praja Rajyam Party with the Congress.
The Chief Minister’s loyalists have started a campaign for elevating Dasari to a gubernatorial post. It is said that an intense lobbying is on in Delhi to honour Dasari with a Governor’s post for his valuable contribution to the party. Dasari’s present tenure ends in April.
The political rivalry between Dasari and Chiranjeevi is very well known, though both of them belong to Kapu community.
While Botsa has been successfully using Chiranjeevi’s shoulders to fire at the Chief Minister, his rival camp now wants to hit back at him by using Dasari’s goodwill with the high command. Kiran’s supporters are arguing that Dasari should be given an honorable post after his present Rajya Sabha terms ends.
