Chiru distances himself from politics, denies he would take up RS member post

Vijayawada: Tollywood actor Chiranjeevi has ruled out any chance of him re-entering politics. The actor was on a private visit to the city on Friday and denied he was offered a Rajya Sabha seat.

He said, “I am away from politics and nobody will offer me this. I am neither aspiring for it nor yielding to such a temptation. I have no such intention at all.”

Later, the actor tweeted he had met CM Jagan to discuss issues related to the Telugu film industry and also on the survival of film theatres. Some media organisations were trying to politicise this by claiming that he was being offered a Rajya Sabha, he said.

“I am keeping away from politics and there is no chance of my re-entering it. I appeal to all to stop such speculations.”
