Mahesh Babu recommends Jayadev

      Industrialist Galla Jayadev, son of former Minister Galla Aruna Kumari and brother-in-law of Tollywood hero Mahesh Babu, has joined TDP along with his mother few weeks ago. Now, he is contesting as TDP candidate from Guntur for Loksabha. While joining TDP, he declared that his brother-in-law and Tollywood top star Mahesh Babu will campaign for him in the elections.   Although, Mahesh babu has not joins the campaign yet, he tweets recommending him to the people and appealed to vote for him. In his attempt to convince the people, he narrates about him and his ability to bring change in the society. Mahesh Babu in his recent tweet writes “ I’ve always maintained that I am apolitical., still I am. However, I need to break my silence to talk a little about my BIL @Jayagalla who is contesting as MP from Guntur. From the time he married my sister, Padma, when I was only 13, he has been an inspiration and role model to me. At first, it was because of the way he took care of me and treated me. Later, I understand how he was able to develop a vision and translate it into reality with values, as can be seen how steered the Amar Raja Group and the amron Brand into what they are today. He has been recognized by media, industry bodies and his peers for his achievements. He has always talked about wanting to enter politics, and I never understand why, given my own dislike for the field. He always said that the only way to create change is to improve the quality of the people entering politics..And that through politics, you can serve the maximum number of people. One of his favorite quotes, “One man can make difference, and every man should try.” I believe in him, and I believe he can make a difference. He has my support and my vote, and I hope he has yours as well. @yadevgalla represents hope for the future of Guntur, Andhra Pradesh and for India.” Probably, this may bring Jayadev Mahesh fans close to him. If he could rope him in to join his road shows or some meetings, certainly it may bring a big difference in his electoral chances.
