* What is wrong with Andhra Pradesh voters? * Why are they electing REEL heroes?
These ACTORS accumulated billions of money from each movie ticket you brought for 100 rupees. Isn't it enough? Our PARENTS and PROFESSORS are the REAL heroes.

The era of NTR and MGR is over.. They fooled the people when the literacy rate of Andhra is less than 40%.. now the scenario is different.. Inspite of great charisma, Chiranjeevi will not win more than 40 seats in AP.. People are getting educated now.. they are good in analysing.. don't expect the people to change overnight, it will take years for a good change...
North India too had elected, govinda, jaya prada, shatruhan sinha, vinod khanna, dharmendra and many more... do these people are reel heroes or real heroes?

wake up! the era of MGR and NTR is not over! what MGR did with films now karunanidhi and his family are doing with media domination of TV channels and cable networks and spreading the message everywhere that people want to listen to and not what is true and the tv media is more bothered about sensationalism and trp ratings rather than the pain of the general public

if you say media is dominating TN.. I will accept onyy to some extent.. Inspite of Sun TV support (with live coverage) in the last state elections, DMK got only 97 seats.. still a minority government.. See, understand.. Still hero worship is there but not like the era of NTR and MGR.. People are slowly changing..
90% of the recent vijayakanth films are flop.. He got only 1 seat in state elections.. if it is an MGR era vijayakanth would have become chief minister by know..
In last lok sabha election, Rajinikanth was crushed like coke can by PMK.. after that, Rajinikanth don't even dream to enter into politics..
People are slowly becoming educated.. they can know understand the difference between Real hero and reel hero... don't expect change in over night, it will take years..
if vijayakanth wins next state election, it is not because of an actor.. it is because of hardwork.. vijayakanth is in indirect politics for 15 years.. he is not like chiru (AP), who entered politics an year before..

Congress ruled India for over 50 years and ruined the country and all film personalities have stashed wealth beyond ones imagination! Congress and DMK stashed over 60 thousand crores through spectrum scam and had the court to clear this scam due to their power! Unless people get up and reply corrupt polticians Indians will suffer for next several decades. We are the root cause for our trouble. If every educated person come out and vote, no corrupt politician will come back. Who is Sonia, wife of a corrupt poltician, kick her out. Advani can do nothing, you have seen BJP for 5yrs, they are corrupt too......
