But what caught everyone’s attention was Chiranjeevi’s comments on politics and why he left the space. Saying that the personal attacks increased in the current politics, Chiranjeevi said that only those who can strongly counter those attacks would continue.

Saying that there should be dignity in politics, Chiranjeevi said that unable to deal with the personal attacks in politics, he called it quits. The trend of such attacks is increasing which is concerning and observed that people have the power to teach such leaders a lesson.
