Congress tries 'star power' to turn fortunes in AP
November 17, 2008

The Congress party in Andhra Pradesh seems all set to unleash two aces to counter actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi's [Images] juggernaut.

The two aces -- actors Nagarjuna [Images] and Mahesh Babu [Images] -- covertly showed their support to the Y S Rajashekhar-led Congress government during the Nandi Awards ceremony in Hyderabad on Sunday.

Congress sources claim that both actors could campaign openly for the party in the time to come. The development attains significance following the recent entry of NTR's son Balakrishna into the Telugu Desam Party camp.

Incidentally, Nagarjuna, like Chiranjeevi, hails from coastal Andhra Pradesh.
