Pawan Kalyan, Balakrishna calling the shots

VV Balakrishna 22 Dec 2008
HYDERABAD: ‘Power star’ Pawan Kalyan and ‘Yuva Ratna’ Nandamuri Balakrishna are calling the shots in their respective parties. Both the stars, who had enormous following in the tinsel world, are now proving themselves as ‘star managers’ for their parties.
Pawan Kalyan was instrumental in roping in Vijayawada East MLA V Radhakrishna to the party fold. He spoke to Radhakrishna and convinced him to join the party. Pawan Kalyan was made president of the youth wing of Praja Rajyam Party recently. He also got good response for his recent tours in Rangareddy and Hyderabad districts.

Meanwhile, Balakrishna is also proving to be a good star manager for Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
At a time the TDP was facing crisis, his entry into active politics boosted the morale of party cadres.
Balakrishna was instrumental in roping in two MLAs Gali Muddu Krishnama Naidu and K Lakshmi Naidu into party recently.
Balakrishna also prevailed upon party senior leader Ambika Krishna not to leave the party. He rang up several leaders, who were planning to quit TDP and join PRP. According to insiders, Balakrishna was meeting party leaders from various districts.
He is willing to meet leaders and people in East Godavari from December 28, where he will stay for some days for film shooting.
Pawan Kalyan with his modest behaviour was attracting youths and elders alike. Pawan did a lot of homework along with his friends in the cine field to search talented youths to form ‘Yuva Rajyam’.
Both the heros will remain ‘star campaigners’ for their parties in the next four months.
While Pawan Kalyan has decided to launch his campaign from Kondagattu in Karimnagar on December 26, the itinerary and style of campaign of Balakrishna has not been decided yet. However, party sources confirmed that Balakrishna may kickstart his campaign after Sankranti.
Balakrishna is willing to contest in the next elections.
However, Pawan Kalyan will remain as lead campaigner for PRP.
