In 2008, Chiranjeevi started Praja Rajyam, a Political Party in the state of Andhra Pradesh. At the launch, he stated that social justice was the main agenda of his party.In the 2009 general elections,the party won 18 of the 295 seats in the AndhraPradesh State Assembly. He was elected a Member of the state Assembly from Tirupati.
He contested from both Tirupati and Palakollu Constituencies for MLA in the 2009 general elections, winning in Tirupati but losing out in Palakollu, in West-godavari district.
on 6 February 2011, Chiranjeevi merged the 30-month-old Praja Rajyam Party with the Indian National Congress, after two weeks of talks with Soina Gandhi, the president of the Congress, which feared the no confidence motion in the state assembly in the wake of the emergence of Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSR Congress Party and the stronghold of Telangana agitation. After more than one year of merging his party into congress, he was nominated to Rajya sabha on 29march 2012. He got elected and took the oath as a Rajya Sabha member on 3 April 2012. On 28 October 2012, he was sworn in as the Union Minister of State Ministry of Tourism,Government of India.
After the Indian National Congress split the state of Andhra Pradesh leaving the residuary state with huge debt and little revenue in june 2014, most members of the Andhra Pradesh wing of Indian National Congress party left in protest.Chiranjeevi, however, remained with Indian National Congress and did campaign for Indian National Congress as chairman of election campaign committe for 2014 parliamentary and assembly elections in residuary state of Andhra Pradesh, however he refrained from contesting in elections.
There was also criticism that he did not campaign whole heartedly due to the one sided decision taken to split Andhra Pradesh. His youngest brother Pawan Kalyan ,a former Praja Rajyam party youth wing leader, launched his own political party Jana Sena and campaigned vigorously against Indian National Congress and in favor of Telugu Desham Party and Bharatiya Janata Party. Due to the strong anti-Indian National Congress sentiment prevailing in Andhra Pradesh, its candidates were defeated in all parliamentary and state assembly seats Andhra Pradesh with 165 out of 175 candidates losing deposit Since the 2014 elections, he has maintained distance from active politics and will also end his tenure as Rajya Sabha member in April, 2018. He has not attended any sessions of Indian National Congress.
Chiranjeevi seems to be ignoring his political career and focusing his complete attention on films .The actor, who is currently busy shooting for SYE RAA NARASIMHA REDDY , has already decided which project he will take up next. Chiranjeevi may not participate in politics any further. He wants to focus on Films. According to reports his next film will be directed by Koratala Siva, who has delivered three back -to-back hits .
