Actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi is all set to join Bharatiya Janata Party, says the buzz.
Chiranjeevi entered politics by forming Praja Rajyam Party in 2008 and after the party's poor performance in 2009 elections, he merged PRP into Congress.
According to a source, when the BJP sent feelers, the actor agreed to join the party. A few indications seem to say that there is truth in the rumours.
Chiranjeevi’s brother Pawan Kalyan, who is a supporter of BJP, recently praised his brother during film events and even in an interview.

Union minister Venkaiah Naidu too praised Chiranjeevi at a function recently.
Our sources informed that BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu already had a word with Chiranjeevi and the party is desperately looking for a charismatic politician to strengthen up their roots in Andhra Pradesh.
With Pawan Kalyan already supporting them, BJP felt that if they can get Chiranjeevi on board, party will be strong enough.
Also, Chiranjeevi has nothing to do with the Congress currently as his party is taking its time to recover in Andhra Pradesh. All these factors do seem to indicate that the actor is planning to join the BJP.
