Chiranjeevi hints at an alliance with BJP

November 04, 2008 17:28 IST

Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi [Images], whose entry into politics has created a flutter in Congress- ruled Andhra Pradesh, appears open for a tie-up with the Bharatiya Janata Party in the next elections.

"Yeah, you can take it like that," the mega star said when repeatedly asked by CNN-IBN whether he was "still open" for an alliance with the saffron party. Earlier in the interview, he said it was "too early" to say about such a possibility.

"Being a secular party, I don't think it will happen. But when really inevitable and no other way to go, if we have to ...for the betterment of the state and the country...if we are cornered in such a way, we will try to avoid but I don't know...I don't want to join the BJP," he said earlier.

Asked if he was open to the possibility, Chiranjeevi said, "We will see...may be a chance.. I cannot say either yes or no right now."
