Will Amala Akkineni be the next Maneka Gandhi of AP?

With Nagarjuna meeting Narendra Modi at 4Pm today, all eyes and ears are waiting for the outcome. Whether it is going to be just a show of support or is there something more in the offing we need to wait till the meeting is over. Rumours doing their rounds are that he is might seek a ticket for his wife Amala in the coming polls. Nagarjuna not only being one of the top most actors in Tollywood, has also known to be a sound business man who has various business establishments apart from the Annapurna Studios. It is a known fact that he had 14 acres of lands near Hi-Tech City purchased from Gurukul Trust which were regularized by the ULCC with the help of YS Rajasekhara Reddy and received a lot of flak for it. Known to be friendly with both the Congress and TDP this new move in support of BJP is an interesting development.



A well known animal rights activist and Blue Cross Foundation founder, Amala has also lent her name and support to various causes including save the Hussain Sagar Project, several NGOs and her own work towards helping and protecting the animal rights. She has quietly blended into the traditional household of the Akkineni family and work with her NGO, which could make her an ideal candidate for the polls. Also quite a good crowd puller when invited for any function or event in support of any good cause, Amala has managed to garner a good crowd with her charisma. Something akin to Maneka Gandhi who was a vociferous animal and environmental activist herself and became an MP and BJP leader apart from being the daughter in law of the Gandhi family...
