The inevitable connection between the film fraternity and politics took a giant leap forward with Dr. Rajashekar and wife Jeevitha taking the plunge into active politics.

Veerappa Moili, who handles the State Affairs of the Congress Party, started a campaign with a vision to infuse new blood into the party in a bid to strengthen it. This campaign kicked off at the Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad today.

Taking this opportunity, film actors Dr.Rajashekar and Jeevitha, known for their interest in entering politics for quite some time, enroled themselves as members of the Ruling Congress party.

Speaking to the media on this occasion, the couple said that they chose politics not for Power or Position, but had an innate desire to serve society using this channel. They also made it very clear that their aim is not to oppose any of their acquaintances in the fields of film or politics.

A member of the press posed this question to Dr. Rajashekar. "Are you going to contest the elections against Chiranjeevi?"

Dr. Rajashekar answered, 'Having joined the Congress Party, he'd execute any role assigned to him in all sincerity. It was not in his hands to decide and will fulfill the party's needs. He might even just promote the party without contesting in elections if necessary".

Did anyone say 'Rajashekar has started speaking like a politician already'?
