People Will Watch Film Stars, But Won’t Vote

On one side, Vijayashanti is busy readying for her role as a MLC and the criticism within the party has already kickstarted.

Talking about Vijayashanti, Narayankhed Congress MLA Patlolla Sanjeeva Reddy has made a rather nasty comment. It is known that Vijayashanti was a popular actress during her time. Though she developed political aspirations in between, she is still acting occassionally.

Given such a backdrop Sanjeeva Reddy said that people might watch Vijayashanti’s movies, but they wouldn’t give votes for her.

He went on to narrate that Vijayashanti offered to campaign for him before the elections. But the Narayankhed MLA said that he said no as it will become negative for him.

People watch films for film stars, but won’t give votes, he said.

It is a rather misogynistic statement that shows the attitude of some Congress party members against
Vijayashanti who is contesting as MLC in High Command quota.

There are talks of her becoming the home minister. Despite that, the MLA made this statement.
