Chiru disagrees with APJ

Hyderabad, Sept. 28: The Praja Rajyam chief, Chiranjeevi has learnt the tricks of the trade. Chiranjeevi who praised the former president, Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, for guiding him into politics, has differences with the latter on the Indo-US nuclear deal. Chiranjeevi had even said that he was dreaming for the people as Kalam had often advised.

During a media conference on Sunday, Chiranjeevi said: “Kalam might have made a macroscopic observation. He is a statesman and can’t be expected to speak against the deal like a politician. But I am a politician and I will speak for the people as there are some apprehensions over the deal,” he said. However, Chiranjeevi became mum when it was pointed out that Dr Kalam did have some reservations over the issue.
