"The change we want to bring in the system will not be achieved if we open flood gates to politicians. They may be inevitable for the party in some places because of their experience but they don't bring in freshness," he told a gathering of his followers in his chambers at the highly-guarded party office in Hyderabad . The nine-minute video was sent by unidentified persons to local TV channels which aired the footage and was also available on the internet. Soon, the bloggers went cracking, posting a flurry of comments for and against the episode. It is not clear who is behind the sting operation and what could be the purpose behind it. The video showed Chiranjeevi in a relaxed mood, exchanging views with a group of his young fans on a wide range of issues including SEZs, political corruption and organisational matters. Speaking to them informally, he virtually suggested to them to "spy" on the politicians desiring to join the party and wanted politicians to be kept out of the finer details of the new party.
