Star Wars: Voters rejects cine politicians
Wednesday, May 20, 2009

PV: The star campaigners in the Telugu Desam and the Praja Rajyam have proved to be ineffective as the parties lost the elections in areas toured by the actors. The TD banked heavily on Junior NTR and Balakrishna. However, the two failed at the political box office. Similarly, the PR's star trio of Chiranjeevi, Pavan Kalyan and Nagababu also failed to woo the voters. The TD's worst performance was in districts toured by the actors. For example, in Srikakulam district where Junior NTR launched his election campaign, out of the 10 Assembly seats, the TD won only in Itchapuram. The nine other constituencies of Palasa, Tekkali, Patapatnam, Srikakulam, Amadalavalasa, Etcherla, Narasannapeta, Rajam (SC) and Palakonda (ST) were won by the Congress.
