Actor Suman is now a supporter of TRS. Wherever he goes, he is sporting a pink colour shirt to influence people to choose the ruling party this election season.

"KCR garu is the one who secured statehood. It's he who went on a fast unto death. I am not saying TRS has given the perfect rule. The State under its rule has done well. Real estate in Hyderabad is better than that in other cities in Karnataka and TN. KCR garu spoke to me for 5.5 hours recently and told me about his work. Such a great man gave me time and had me attend a Cabinet meeting. A man will be on his own. KCR garu meesam unna magadu. That's why he is fighting alone!" Suman said.

If you thought he is anti-TDP, you are wrong. He regards CBN as his political guru. "I didn't know anything about politics until I joined the TDP many years ago. My political guru is Chandrababu Naidu garu. I joined the party because of his brother, Nara Rammurthy Naidu garu. I believed that Naidu garu's vision for Hyderabad and the State (then united AP) is right. I never aspired to seek a ticket," Suman says.

He adds, "In AP, Naidu garu should come to power after 2019, given his experience and age. I am not underestimating Jagan or Pawan Kalyan. Pawan is drawing huge crowds like no other politician. And Modi garu should be India's PM after 2019 polls."
