Aruna, who had met AICC incharge of Andhra affairs Ghulam Nabi Azad in New Delhi on Monday, was bombarded with questions from the media as to whether she had come to the capital for taking up Mahesh Babu case with the high command.
“It is ridiculous. I am not making any efforts to bring Mahesh Babu into the Contgress party. I have come here to discuss the allocation of funds to Chittoor urban and Chandragiri hospitals with Azad. There is no other mission,” she said.
It may be mentioned that Aruna’s son Jayadev was married to Superstar Krishna’s daughter. Hence, the speculation that Aruna was lobbying for Mahesh.
Interestingly, Congress MLC Ranga Reddy, a close confidant of Kiran, admitted that the party was trying to get Mahesh Babu into the party.
“Krishna’s family has a long-term association with the Congress party. If Mahesh joins the Congress, he will get a respectable position,” he said.
