Prakriti Analysis: On Chiranjeevi's Motivation

-

Akriti team brought us the news that on 17th August 2008, Chiranjeevi announced that he is entering into Politics by starting his own Political party. Watch the announcement on YouTube video here.

Prakriti, Jagriti and Samskriti teams had a long discussion about the announcement and we promised to bring to you our analysis of the event. This is first part of the analysis on Motivation.

On Motivation

Based fully on the announcement itself, Akriti team summarizes the key motivation for Chiranjeevi to enter into politics as follows:

  • To serve people, particularly uplift the poorer sections
  • Bring smart, capable and good people in to Politics
  • Personal fulfillment and conviction that it would be a historical mistake not to come to politics
  • Last but the most popular reason, People that love him wanted him to come to Politics and reminded him of his responsibility to people that made him what he is.
  • Not for Power, Money or fame

On Inspirational Events & People

In the order mentioned in the speech:

  • Meeting with former President Kalam
  • NT Rama Rao that reminded the Social responsibility of artists
  • Fans and People in general from all sectors, all over the world
  • B.R. Ambedkar
  • Mahatma Gandhi
  • Mother Theresa
  • Jotirao Phule
  • Last letters written by people wishing to see Chiranjeevi in politics
  • People and lives saved by Blood bank

Prakriti team's analysis on How people received it regarding what motivated Chiranjeevi into Politics :

The announcement itself is not at all a surprise as many of us already know that Chiranjeevi will come into politics. Indications are every where for a long time.

  • It would have been much better if he had just said that he would enter in to politics in a couple of minutes and because of People without citing any other reason.
  • We love him a lot and want him to come to politics, but we can't help but laugh at the whole story and motivation behind his decision to come in to politics.
  • None of the people barring NTR he cited as inspirations, never entered into Politics posing a question for Chiranjeevi why you? They demonstrated that, if you want to serve people, you don't need politics. And NTR clearly said he was inspired by the Power.
  • We do not believe in any of those reasons. And it really doesn't matter to us either. We want him in Politics, as it would bring a new wave of politics and activism.
  • One ardent fan of Chiranjeevi said that most of the fan base is working class and the story and background is created to attract a broader spectrum, beyond the working class fans.
  • The story would also provide much needed media attention and a pat on the back from conservative educated middle class that normally don't like the mass hero.
  • Photograph of B.R. Ambedkar on the wall will have a much anticipated ripple effect with little unexpected consequences. (more on this later)

      The way meeting was conducted could have been better. But why do you have problem in believing him?

      USCIS Selects Final H1B Petitions by Random Selection - Almost a 50% chance for each Application

      -
      U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that on April 12 it conducted the computer-generated random selection process to determine which H-1B petitions, subject to the congressionally mandated H-1B cap for fiscal year 2008 (FY 2008), would continue to final processing. USCIS completed this determination ahead of the preliminary schedule noted on April 3, when it announced it had received enough petitions to meet the cap for FY 2008. The 123,480 cap-subject petitions received on April 2 and 3 were labeled with unique numerical identifiers and selected randomly by computer. The chosen numerical identifiers were then transmitted to the appropriate service center for further processing. Source: USCIS Announcement Number 123,480 looks a lot better keeping in view initial estimates. A good 50% chance for each application to be selected.  Update: 3rd May 2007 Hello friends, I understand your anxiety. But don’t loose your hope and/or temper yet. Please wai...

      H1B 2008:USCIS released Preliminary Numbers

      -
      USCIS today released the final count of number of unique pieces of mail received for H1B petitions. It received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions. I guess, each piece of mail will ' mostly ' contain more than one petition, as no company would send each petition in a seperate package and its most unlikely that a firm applies for just one petition. Probably by the end of next week, we might know the actual number of H1B petitions filed and how lucky one must be to get through the initial filter. Source: USCIS Releases Preliminary Number of FY 2008 H-1B Cap Filings  (26KB PDF) 04/05/2007 During Monday and Tuesday, USCIS received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions. This is lower that the original USCIS estimate of 150,000. USCIS based the initial estimate on amounts from manifests received along with the mail. USCIS reached the updated number following a physical count of the mail. Each piece of mail may contain more than one H-1B pe...
