On November 17, Friday actor-politician Vijayashanti has bid farewell to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and decided to align herself with the Indian National Congress. She sent resignation letter to the state BJP unit president and Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on the Thursday. The political landscape in India is no stranger to such shifts, but Vijayashanti’s move has undoubtedly caught the attention of both political observers and the public.
The Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal appointed her as the Chief Coordinator for the Telangana Assembly 2023 Campaign and Planning Committee for the November 30 polls.
Vijayashanti, a well-known face in Telugu cinema, transitioned into politics and was associated with the BJP for a certain period. However, her recent decision to switch allegiance to the Congress has sparked speculation and discussions about the implications it might have on the political dynamics in the region.
The actor, known for her impactful roles on the silver screen, entered politics with much fanfare. Her association with the BJP brought her into the national political limelight. Her departure from the party, and subsequent entry into the Congress, suggests a repositioning of political alliances and strategies.
Vijayashanti’s political journey has been marked by her active participation in various issues, and her presence in the Congress is likely to influence the party dynamics in the state. The Congress, in welcoming the actor-politician, gains not only a prominent face but also someone with a considerable following in the entertainment industry.
The move comes at a crucial time, with elections and political strategies dominating the discourse. Vijayashanti’s decision might have repercussions not only for the BJP and Congress but also for regional politics in general. As her fans and political observers await her formal induction into the Congress, the spotlight is on how this development will shape the political scenario in the coming months.
