 Political analysts say that all the film stars who contested from Rayalaseema region actually donot belong to that region. They are all from Andhra region. If they contest from their home turf they will any how win the election, but the point to be noted here is that since Rayalaseema is a drought prone area the leaders have a strategy by convincing the voters that they had come to the rescue of the region and to save people from drought hit areas. This trend has been following from NTR to Pawan Kalyan. Will Pawan win from this region? To this one have to wait till 2019 elections.
