Vijayashanti, also known as the "Fire Brand Lady," is a well-known figure in the Indian film industry and politics. She has been an aggressive and outspoken politician who has changed party's multiple times, making it difficult for her to understand what politics truly entails. Despite being a member of the BJP currently, she was previously closely associated with the Congress party and had shared the stage with Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
She was with the BRS earlier which had sent her as an MP to Lok Sabha where she fought hard for separate state movement. However, it is rumored that Vijayashanti is not being given the priority and recognition she deserves within the BJP. Though she was given a position in the national executive committee when she first joined the party, she has not received much attention since then. Meanwhile, other women leaders, such as former minister DK Aruna, are being given more prominence.
Moreover, Vijayashanti's passionate appeals for safeguarding the Singareni Collieries, a Telangana entity, has created tensions with the Modi government, as she believes they have not done enough for existing industries. She is vocal about workers' rights and is often critical of the government's policies. Despite this, she has remained relatively inactive in politics recently, leading some to speculate about her future plans and which party she might join next.
Her admirers feel that such a strong and outspoken leader like Vijayashanti is not being given the recognition she deserves within the BJP. It remains to be seen whether she will remain with the saffron party or join another one, but her political strategy and determination will be closely watched by her supporters and critics
alike.
