Sister Shobha Cheated Me: Chiru

For megastar-turned-Congress MP Chiranjeevi, winning Allagadda assembly seat is said to be more important than the Tirupati seat.

That is why he is trying to play a sentimental card in attracting voters in Allagadda constituency. Addressing election rallies in the constituency, Chiranjeevi criticised YSR Congress party candidate Shobha Nagi Reddy in strong words. “I treated Shobha like my sister. When she came to my residence along with her husband, I honoured them by presenting clothes as per the Telugu tradition. But the couple had cheated me and jumped into the YSR Congress party,” he said.

He appealed to the people of Allagadda to forgive him for believing Shobha and her husband. “Any vote for Shobha amounts to voting for corruption,” he said, adding that the Congress party was sincerely implementing the schemes introduced during the Y S Rajasekhara Reddy regime.
