Actor Suman to re-enter politics

Amaravati: Veteran South Indian actor Suman Talwar has said that he will enter active politics. The actor announced at a programme in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh that in Telangana he would support Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). He did not say which party he would back in Andhra Pradesh but indications are that he will rejoin the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

Suman had taken interest in politics by joining TDP in 1999 in the then undivided Andhra Pradesh. After he did not get any recognition in the party, he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2004. As he did not get any key role in the BJP, he had kept himself away from politics.

Suman had recently defended Tamil superstar Rajinikanth over his remarks made at birth centenary celebrations of legendary actor and former chief minister N T Rama Rao at Vijayawada. Suman had also remarked that ups and downs are common in politics. He also commented that some mistakes happened during Chandrababu Naidu’s rule.
