Congress New Leader Jayasudha
Film stars turning into politicians has become very common today. Following the footsteps of Superstar, Megastar, the female leads of yester-year Telugu cinema are now taking up a new step towards the "social service" through politics. Jayasudha, was the most recent to join the bandwagon of Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy's State Congress.
One has to question the authenticity of the so-called public service which every actor/politician quotes. In this context, it may be worthwhile to look at an example in Jayasudha's recent interview to a Telugu News Channel.
Firstly, the interviewer asked Jayasudha about the "change" in her political ideology when she supported Telugu Desam some years back and now joining Congress. Instead of answering the question in a manner that most politicians would be expected to say, the actress instead took it very lightly and said that she supported TDP at that time because her colleague Jayaprada was in the party then. How much of that answer should the people who look up to the politicians should digest is left for them to judge during elections.
Another question that came up was what was her "plan" if she was to become a leader, and the answer came very very dumb and disappointing. The actress said she never planned and if she plans, it usually does not work. She went on to say that she believes in God and He would plan accordingly and proudly quoted something from the Bible.
Well, as long as it is your career, or any personal stuff, Jayasudha madam, it is okay if you leave it to God to plan, but once you chose politics, you need to be a leader who shares plans for the people in order to serve them. In a democracy, it is the people who are Gods.
Is it because of the actress' sensibility or glamour that she was asked to join the party or was it because of some other reason that Sonia and YSR would be pleased with from Jayasudha's personal beliefs is a question, that no interviewer would perhaps ask, given the "pseudo-secular" campaign the Congress often sings of.
