Chiranjeevi may take Long Break to Praja Ankita Yatra
Megastar and Praja Rajyam party president Chiranjeevi, who abruptly cut off his "Praja Ankita Yatra" from Visakhapatnam due to sore throat, initially hinted that he would resume his tour, this time from Telangana, after Diwali.
However, party sources said it is unlikely that Chiranjeevi would re-start his Yatra in the next three or four weeks. Though the reason is attributed to doctors' advice to take rest, sources say Chiranjeevi is perturbed over the reports of clashes between PRP leaders and his fans at various places.
He reportedly told his colleagues that he would first focus on constituting the party executives at all levels, before going into public, because there was no point in being the president of the party, which has no organisation.
He is of the view that if there are organisations at all levels, then it would be easier to delegate duties to the party cadres during his tour. He also wants that sufficient representation be given to his fans associations leaders in the committees, so that there would be no disgruntlement.
He wants to talk to all the fans associations before taking up the task.
Now that the party has been officially recognised by Election Commission, it would be appropriate to systematise the organisation, so that the PRP could face the elections confidently, even if they are advanced, sources say.
Praja Rajyam to Expand Zonal Panels
To help district leaders have access to the State leadership, the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) has decided to appoint zonal committees.
Though the party has already formed four committees, it is planning to revamp them and make some more additions.
Last week the party state leaders have finalised the names of district monitoring teams and appointed the zonal committees.
Four to six members for each district have been appointed and altogether 124 leaders have been accommodated. The party appointed six members each for the zonal committees for north Andhra, coastal Andhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana.
Senior leaders like Harirama Jogaiah, K Vidyadhara Rao, KSR Murthy, G Srinivas, T Sitaram, CV Sesha Reddy, Dr Vinay, Zakaria, Naragoni, Karuna, B Nagi Reddy, C Ramachandraih, Khaleel Basha, NV Prasad have been appointed to the zonal committees.
The party leadership wants to add some more members to these committees.
Zonal committees would act as link between the state leadership and the district leaders. Those district leaders who wants to join the party have to contact the zonal leaders. Zonal leaders will tour the districts and monitor activities like membership drive, establishment of party offices at the constituency level, etc. The district level leaders have to maintain contact with the zonal committees.
Meanwhile, party president Chiranjeevi today stayed back at home as he is suffering from sore throat and mild fever. Doctors advised him rest for three days. Party leaders took a strong objection to the remarks made by Agriculture Minister N Raghuvira Reddy that Chiranjeevi has to spell out the remuneration he took for the films and the income tax he paid.
Rubbishing the comments that all those who attended Chiranjeevi’s road show were influenced by his cine glamour, party leader Shoba Nagireddy said that people thronged for his road shows not just to see him but to express their anger over the Congress and Telugu Desam parties.
Praja Rajyam Refining itself with Survey Report
Praja Rajyam Party Chief Chiranjeevi has completed his recent trip and now Chiru camp is taking feed back from Uttara Andhra public meetings.
A private Survey agency is appointed to look in to the survey. The questionnaire is prepared with 7 questions and this will be circulated among the public to get the feed back.
What is your feeling after seeing Chiru in the tour? How do you rate Chiru's speech, do you like it? Are you satisfied with Chiru's local problems addressing in the tour? Do you believe that Chiru can come up in politics?
What are the advises you give to those who like Chiru? Did you find any mistakes in the tour, or Speeches of Chiru? Whom did you vote in the last elections? Why do you want to vote Chiru this time? Feed back is expected in couple of days.
Subsequent to taking feedback of the report Praja Rajyam would make necessary changes for Chiru upcoming tour . Telangana is likely to be next touring zone of Chiru once he gets well. Praja Rajyam Party is with intention to refine itself.

Huge Crowds Greet Chiranjeevi in Praja Ankita Yatra
Huge crowds greeted Praja Rajyam founder Chiranjeevi on the second day of his Praja Ankita Yatra of the district which passed through Gollapalli, Alajangi, Terlam, Uttaravalli, Merakamudidam, Garbham, Garividi, Gural and Nellimarla.
Addressing the huge crowds, the megastar said governments should be a protector of public property. Developmental programmes should not cause hardships to people but political leaders just did not care as they were busy lining their pockets. The PRP would fight against corruption and bring about a change in the system, he asserted.
"The PRP will surely address people’s problems. That will be the main agenda of the party. I chose this region to start my yatra as I wanted the blessings of the people here," he said amidst thunderous applause.
The huge crowds stopped their idol’s convoy at every crossroad between Bobbili and Nellimarla and urged him to speak, only to be obliged. Fans shouted slogans in support of Praja Rajyam while the most popular song of the party, Nenu Saitam Prapanchagniki Ahutavutanu, was repeatedly played at junctions.
N Lakshmi, a Chiranjeevi fan, and friends from Terlam said, "We came here to see Chiranjeevi." S Musalayya and others from Uttaravalli village in Merakamudidam mandal said that somebody should emerge on the scene to control corruption.
"We welcome Chiranjeevi, we will vote for him." M Sankaramma of Alajangi village in Bobbili mandal said her favourite star should be given a chance to cleanse politics and streamline administration.
The two-day tour of the district concluded this evening.
The four-day yatra of Visakhapatnam district will start from Tagarapuvalasa on Thursday.
Chiranjeevi Praja Ankita Yatra to Enter Vizag Today
Mr. Chiranjeevi would commence his road show in Visakhapatnam district at Tagarapuvalasa, about 25 km. from here, at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. He would visit Araku, Paderu and Devarapalli by a helicopter on the last day before leaving for Hyderabad by an evening flight from here.
The Praja Rajyam chief would inaugurate the party’s rural unit office at Anakapalle on Oct. 16 morning and interact with party workers, supporters, blood donation camps organisers, fans and others from 8.30 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. at the office before starting the day’s Yatra.
Mr. Chiranjeevi’s tour received tremendous response from the people, particularly from the youth and women, in Srikakulam and Vizianagaram districts and it would not be different in Visakhapatnam, former Chodavaram MLA and party leader Ganta Srinivasa Rao said at a press conference he addressed along with other Praja Rajyam party leaders here on Monday.
This was the first phase of the tour and was planned to cover the rural and agency areas keeping in view the route convenience and a separate programme would be held for the four city Assembly segments later, he said. In the first phase itself, Gajuwaka and Pendurthy, falling under the city area have been included.
Some leaders from other parties might join the party during the Praja Ankita Yatra and more would join after the Visakhapatnam phase concluded on Oct. 17, he said. Former Vice-Chairman of Zilla Praja Parishad Laalam Bhaskara Rao of Telugu Desam is joining the party on Oct. 16.
Former MLA S.A. Rehaman said party’s membership drive was on and would resume on a large scale after Oct. 17. The tour programme was chalked out after consulting the film star fans and others, he added.
Former MLA P.G.V.R. Naidu, Chiranjeevi blood donation camps organiser Raghava Rao and others were also present at the press conference.
People cautioned
The leaders appealed to the fans, supporters and people in general not to climb weak hoardings, electric and telephone poles or onto the weak buildings in their enthusiasm to look at
People were also advised not to travel in the direction opposite to the party leader’s road show as they might get caught among the huge crowds.
Chiru proved political pundits wrong through Praja Ankita Yatra
The overwhelming reception accorded to chiranjeevi in the bordering districts of Srikakulam and Vijayanagaram once again ignited the political scene in the state.
None, in particular both the major parties of Congress and TDP, have expected this kind of public attendance for the star turned politician and so far all political parties almost wrote off PRP as very marginal force, even after massive public meeting in temple town of Tirupathi.
At a crucial juncture when other oppositional groups playing political tactics, Chiru punctured the hopes of Naidu and some other parties proving that he is there, not just an another political party but as a power to reckon.
Now, not only dominant political parties, even the smaller ones that have been dictating dates and placing unreasonable conditions have started to re-think over their partner in the coming electoral battle.
The postponement of final decision by CPI (M) on Sunday in regard to have a tie up with TDP in the coming election is clear indication of that. Already one of the two left parties i.e. CPI has hinted, in public, its intention to sail with PRP against the wish of CPI (M) which almost has made up its mind to have tie up with Naidu for various reasons, the case is same with TRS.
Now all these leaders will re-work their electoral alliances.
Now Chiru camp should workout clear strategy to keep this momentum till the judgment day and convert this public attendance into votes.
Chiranjeevi Continues to draw Huge Crowds in Praja Ankita Yatra
Prajam Rajyam Party President Chiranjeevi’s Praja Ankita Yatra was a huge success in Srikakulam District. His tour of Vizianagaram also is drawing massive crowds.
Addressing the mammoth crowds, Chiranjeevi said that he has entered political arena only to serve people and not for pleasure or amassing wealth. He said he would reveal his programmes and policies only to people. He condemned political corruption and gave a clarion call to root out corruption from the society.
Chiranjeevi said his PRP will strive to mitigate the travails of the common-man.

People will give a verdict in my favour: Chiranjeevi
SRIKAKULAM: Expressing confidence that people would bless him with victory, Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi ruled out any truck with the proposed ‘grand alliance’ comprising the Telugu Desam, the Left parties and the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS).
He was indeed favourably disposed towards the Left parties, but they were trying to enter into a truck with the TDP, a party with which he did not want to join hands.
Mr. Chiranjeevi made his first-ever observations about alliances in a free-wheeling interview aboard the ‘Praja Ankitha Ratham’ during his tour of Srikakulam district on Saturday even as his brother-in-law Allu Arvind was holding talks in New Delhi with CPI (M) leaders Prakash Karat and Sitaram Yechury.
Referring to the massive turnout at all his meetings during the past two days, the Praja Rajyam leader said this was a clear indicator that people wanted a change. Asked whether he expected the overt affection of his fans to translate into votes, he said, “I am hundred per cent confident about it.” In the same vein, he was asked if all this support would make him the Chief Minister.
He replied, “You need to ask the people about that. I am sure people will give their verdict clearly in our favour. I am not among those craving for power but a servant of the people. If you ask them, they will say yes. They desperately want a change.
”Telangana
Asked for his views on separate Telangana, Chiranjeevi said he had already stated in Tirupati in August that the Praja Rajyam would act as a facilitator if people wanted separation. “If people strongly desire a separate State, it will happen,” he asserted.

Chiranjeevi says 'Telangana call after considering people's wishes'
Chiranjeevi Praja Ankita Yatra Throbs to Yuva Beat
Striking a chord with the youth in the backward district, the actor stressed the need for them to play a bigger role in helping the people lead a life of dignity. ‘‘My dream is Yuva Andhra Pradesh," he kept saying at the whistlestop meetings which he addressed in the district en route to Palasa.
People of all ages thronged the route well ahead of his arrival. Youths followed the convoy in trucks, cars, autorickshaws and every conceivable mode of transport.
The actor started off from the Inspection Bungalow in Srikakulam where he had been camping and reached the Santoshimata temple about 10:00 a.m. By the time of his arrival the junction was chock-a-block with people.
Women offered arathi. After Narasannapet, Chiranjeevi headed for Tekkali, where he was received by a huge crowd.
Chiranjeevi Promises 24x7 Free Power to Ryots
Addressing a large gathering near Narsannapet on National Highway 5 as part of his “Praja Ankitha Yatra,” he said it was the government’s responsibility to come to the rescue of people when they were in a crisis.
Farmers were already reeling under shortage of fertilizer and unremunerative prices for their produce, he said. Power shortage only added to their woes and if the government did not help them “We will work out a proposal to extend free power supply in backward districts.”
It was as if people from every house in this town had turned up on the streets to catch a glimpse of the star-turned-politician atop his ‘Praja Ankitha Ratham’ flanked by MLCs Gorle Haribabu and former Minister in the Telugu Desam government Tammineni Seetaram. The roads were so packed with people, especially women and youth, that the long-winding convoy comprising at least 100 vehicles could only inch forward.
On the first day of his ‘Yatra’, he addressed half a dozen meetings in this town, attracting teeming crowds. He said he was all for development but not at the cost of welfare. “The common man cannot be hit below the belt,” he said, promising that he would do everything to remove imbalances in society.

I am far ahead of others on Telangana
Chiru was pretty confident when he answered a question on Telangana at a press conference in Srikakulam.
In fact, Chiru did not hesitate to speak out on the issue in Srikakulam, which is as backward as Telangana. He knows that media persons would push him on the back foot by raising the issue.
Chiranjeevi kick-starts his political tour in Andhra
The superstar, who launched the party in August, reached Srikakulam in a helicopter from Hyderabad. En route, his chopper landed at Rajahmundry for refuelling.
Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the temple as he arrived for the prayers.
Chiranjeevi began the tour in a special vehicle. He will cover a distance of 50 km every day and address road-side public meetings.
In the first phase, the actor will cover three north coastal Andhra districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam for nine days.
Chiranjeevi has sounded the election bugle by launching the tour.
All the political parties, especially the ruling Congress and the main opposition Telugu Desam Party, are keenly watching the response to Chiranjeevi’s tour.
The two communist parties are likely to decide on aligning with the Telegu Desam Party or the PRP based on the response to Chiranjeevi’s “yatra”.
Chiranjeevi chose north coastal Andhra to begin his tour as he enjoys huge fan following in the region as well as two other coastal districts of East and West Godavari.
The actor, who hails from West Godavari district, already made waves with his visits to Karimnagar, Mahbubnagar and Warangal districts in the Telangana region.
In his first public appearance after launching the party, he visited Sircilla in Karimnagar district and met families of weavers who committed suicide due to crisis in handloom sector.
PRP to spell out stand in 2 weeks
Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) president Chiranjeevi today said his party would spell out its stand on Telangana in two weeks’ time.
Speaking to reporters here today, he said the PRP had made its stand clear well before the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). ‘‘Our party is ready to do what people want and we made this point clear at the Tirupati public meeting itself,’’ he said.
He said his party would continue the policies of the Congress and the TDP and remove the lapses from them, adding that the PRP would welcome alliances for the next elections.
Chiranjeevi said his party would address the problems of the Uddanam area people who were suffering from kidney problems. ‘‘We will study the problem and do what we can,’’ he said. If voted to power, a sugar mill in the Srikakulam district would be opened, he said.
Chiranjeevi said the party had a clear idea on the issue of SC categorisation and condemned the attacks on Christians in Karnataka and Orissa.
Commenting on the criticism that his party was being filled with immigrants, he said whoever would come up with ideas to help people would be welcomed.
is for Chiranjeevi. C is for change.
The star-turned-politician, after offering prayers at the famous Sun shrine here in this village on Thursday, made an impassioned plea for bringing about a change in the society on the eve of his much-awaited Praja Ankita Yatra.
‘‘C is for Chiranjeevi. C is for change,’’ he quipped as the crowd that lined up to see him cheered him lustily.
The actor dwelt mostly on the day-today problems that people faced and how successive governments had belied their hopes after garnering their votes.
‘‘The government is supposed to be a trustee of public property. They cannot plunder it,’’ he stressed. He arrived in Srikakulam by a special helicopter at about 4 p.m. and drove straight to the temple. People,mostly youths, came out to greet him and rent the air with slogans in his support.
After praying at the temple, Chiranjeevi came out to address the people, who were everywhere –– on the road, trees and buildings. Though he hit out at the rulers, he refrained from naming anyone in particular. He did not raise any specific issues either. The thrust of his speech was on social justice, minimum facilities needed for a decent living and so on.
Elaborating on what change meant, the actor said even creation of minimum facilities would be a change for the better. ‘‘For instance, a bus to your village, proper treatment at a police station when one goes to lodge a complaint and availability of essential commodities at reasonable prices. What you all want are these small changes, but there is none to bother about them,’’ he said.
‘‘After ascending to power, politicians are turning into self-serving individuals,’’ he said adding that they were not only growing at the expense of the poor but are also helping their kith and kin to grow.
‘‘The State is your property. This belongs to you. It does not belong to the government,’’ he pointed out. Calling upon the youth to be the driving force behind social reform, he said, ‘‘time has come for you to act.’’

Praja Rajyam Promises True Governance
He was speaking after hoisting of the Praja Rajyam flag at Warasiguda in Musheerabad Assembly constituency in the city on Tuesday. He hoisted party flags, covering 16 constituencies from Rahmat Nagar in Jubilee Hills to Skyline Theatre in Himayatnagar constituency in a day-long series of programmes.
Mr. Kalyan regretted that 61 years after Independence, issues concerning the common man remained much the same and promised that when Praja Rajyam was voted to power under the leadership of Mr. Chiranjeevi, people would see the change. Praja Rajyam would show what true governance was and how it could be done.
Praja Paryam Takes up Teacher's Issue
Party spokesperson Mithra told media at the party office that the condition of the teachers was miserable. He said he was unable to understand why the government was not using their services while there were lot of vacancies in the Education Department.
It was not fair to run the schools with teachers hired on contract (vidya volunteers), he said.
Mitra informed the media that Chiranjeevi’s tour in Vizianagaram would take place on Oct 12 and 13. Chiranjeevi would tour Vizianagaram, Bobbili, Chipurupally and Nellimarla. Mitra said the PRP president would talk about the local problems and also tell how he was going to solve them.
In another press conference, Chiranjeevi’s brother Pawan Kalyan said he had received overwhelming response from people when he toured Hyderabad to hoist party flags.

Praja Rajyam workshops on Backward Class welfare
At a press conference here on Monday, BC leader VGR Naragoni said the first workshop, on Tuesday, will have the participation of leaders from the north coastal districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam, considering that the party president Chiranjeevi was launching his roadshow from Srikakulam.
Between October 7 and 25, the workshops aim to cover all the 23 districts, he said. The aim was to discuss problems plaguing the BCs threadbare, come up with solutions and present a report to the party president so that they could be included in the PR manifesto, he said.
District-specific issues
R. Jhansi, the daughter of late Gouthu Latchanna, said apart from a State-wide perspective, the focus would also be on district-specific issues. That is the reason why nearly 100 participants were invited for the workshops, from each district, she said.
The Praja Rajyam was serious about ensuring progress of the BackCs, who constituted 52 per cent of the population, said Margani Nageswara Rao, another BC leader.
Pawan Kalyan scheduled to hoist the party flag
Mr. Chiranjeevi’s brother and film actor Pawan Kalyan is scheduled to hoist the Praja Rajyam flag at locations in 23 Assembly constituencies in the State capital, falling under the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation limits.
The programmes will start with Rahmath Nagar in Jubilee Hills constituency on Tuesday morning and end around noon at Kattedan, in Rajendranagar constituency.
Chiru’s wife surekha performs puja at Basar
Prajarajyam party president Chiranjeevi’s wife Surekha performed special pujas at the famed Saraswati temple at Basar on the occasion of Moolanakshatram day on Monday evening.
She came to the temple at 6 pm and spent half an hour in the shrine. Sources said with her husband setting out on a statewide tour on Vijayadashami day, she prayed for the success of his tour.
About 60,000 devotees thronged the temple town as the authorities claimed that the temple was richer by Rs 10 lakh only on ‘Akshara abhyasam’ ritual. There was a huge demand for Rs 500 special Akshara Abhyasam package, an official said.
Sources said devotees from various parts of AP and adjacent Maharashtra and Karnataka also visited the temple town.
42 Towns to be covered in Praja Rajyam 1st AP tour
Also PRP is thinking on terms that Congress would go for Loksabha elections ahead of schedule to keep Chiru in check.
Praja Rajyam to Bring Light in People Lives
Pawan Kalyan unfurled the party flag in Jubilee Hills and Rahamat Nagar.
Pawan promised to bring the change in the State politics.
Chiru Yatra may get C P M support
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) leadership in the state will decide whether to join hands with the Telugu Desam or the Praja Rajyam after gauging the public reaction to Chiranjeevi’s yatra.
Though the CPI(M) has agreed to form an electoral pact with the Telangana Rastra Samiti, it has adopted a wait and watch policy as far as the TD and the Praja Rajyam are concerned. This was evident from the deliberations of the CPI(M) state committee which met on Monday in Hyderabad. The committee reportedly resolved to maintain strategic silence on the pre-poll alliance with the TD for the time being.
A leader who participated in the meeting said that the CPI(M) would be keenly monitoring Chiranjeevi’s yatra to find out how much clout he wielded among the public in the state. "We are also waiting for Chiranjeevi’s party to reveal its stand on key issues such as the Indo-US nuclear deal, the economic reforms, World Bank policies and the attitude towards the BJP," said the leader.
"We were informed by the Praja Rajyam leaders that all this would be spelt out during Chiranjeevi’s yatra. So we decide to wait." Meanwhile, the CPI(M) politburo member, Mr Sitaram Yechury, said that the party had not taken any decision on whether to align with the TD or with the Praja Rajyam.
"We feel that alliances among the Opposition parties in the state should be forged on the basis of the alliances at national level," he added. When asked the new friendship between the TRS and the CPI(M), Mr Yechury said, "We are moving with the aim to dislodge the Congress government as well as to keep the communal BJP away from power. For this, we are bringing anti-Congress and anti-BJP forces to one platform.
" The CPI(M) leader said that the party’s central committee would take a clear stance on pre-poll alliances during its meetings to be held on October 13 and 14 in Kolkata.
Chiru rath to roll after puja at Arasavelli temple
Prajarajyam president Chiranjeevi will embark on his 3-day 200 km long yatra after performing puja in the historic sun temple in Arasavelli in Srikakulam District on October 9.Releasing the road map of the tour for the first three days, party spokespersons P Prabhakar and P Mitra said the three-day tour would cover five Assembly constituencies of Srikakulam, Narsannapet, Tekkali, Palasa and Itchapuram.
After completing the three-day tour, Chiranjeevi will visit Vizianagaram district from October 12 onwards, the details of which will be announced later. He will helihop from Itchapuram to Vizianagaram on October 12 morning. Chiranjeevi leaves Hyderabad for Arasavelli on October 9 morning and reach the temple village around noon. From there he will reach Srikakulam for night halt addressing people gathered midway.
On October 10, he will participate in a road show in Srikakulam at 8 am and then proceed to Narsannapet. Later, he will address meetings in Tekkali and Palasa where he will stay put for the night. On October 11, his tour will begin in Sompet and will participate in a road show followed by similar road shows in Sompet, Kaviti, Rajipuram junction before reaching the Orissa boarder town in Itchapuram for night halt.
"Everyday, he will be on the road till 9-30 pm depending on the movement of the convoy," said Prabhakar. Meanwhile, the party is organising an eight-day workshop for leaders of the backward classes from the districts Chiru is planning to tour.
The leaders will discuss the economic status of artisan communities like weavers, blacksmiths, basket makers etc. The coordinator of the workshop, J R Naragoni said everyday 100 to 150 leaders of these communities would be invited to the workshop.

Praja Rajyam Chief busy with Homework on Issues
He needs to do homework and acquaint himself with issues plaguing people, with special emphasis on problems facing tribals, who constitute 5.96 p.c. of the population in Srikakulam, 9.55 p.c. in Vizianagaram and 14.55 p.c. in Visakhapatnam. Since Sunday, Chiranjeevi’s days include extensive interaction with party experts who are closely following developments on various issues with specific focus on the three districts.
Praja Rajyam to Enrol 37,000 Members in each Segment
The membership drive is going on in all the constituencies.
Chiranjeevi’s fans, Praja Seva Samiti members, ticket aspirants, newly joined leaders are participating in the drive.
The party has opened offices in all district headquarters and appointed office incharges to assist those who are participating in the enrollment drive.
However, some leaders are complaining about shortage of application forms. "In our constituency we received only 5,000 forms which were distributed within hours," said a leader from Guntur district.
The district coordinators, who were appointed to supervise the Vurura Praja Rajyam programme, submitted their reports to the party office today, listing the number of villages where the programme took place and other details.
The party is going to utilise the services of Varadhi members who had earlier worked for voter enrollment.
Senior leader Ch Harirama Jogaiah said at a press conference here today that the Varadhi members would visit every house, explaining the party’s policies and urging the people to join the Praja Rajyam. "They would collect Rs 5 from each member.We kept the membership fee low to ensure that it should be within the reach of every one," he explained.
Jogaiah took objection to a report published in a vernacular daily in which party was described as a ‘money collecting agency’. It was not fair to resort to mudsliding on a party which was trying to cleanse the politics, he said and sought the cooperation of the media in the party’s endeavour.
Chiru to launch State tour from Srikakulam
According to sources, the change has became inevitable because the actor might not have enough time to reach Itchapuram.
According to the earlier plan Chiranjeevi has to perform pooja at Arasavelli near Srikakulam and has to reach Ichapuram to launch the programme.
As Ichapuram is 100 k.m. away from Srikakulam, it would take at least three hours for him to reach there.
Even if Chiranjeevi reaches Srikakulam in the morning and completes pooja by afternoon, he can’t reach Ichapuram before evening, sources clarified.
The party core committee today discussed the problem and came to the conclusion that it would be better if Chiranjeevi starts the tour from Srikakulam itself.
According to the revised schedule, Chiranjeevi would reach Srikakulam on the morning of Oct 9, and would perform pooja at Arasavelli and launch his tour from Srikakulam town.
The tour would pass through Srikurmam, Narasannapeta, Tekkali, Kasibugga, Sompeta, Kanchili and would reach Ichapuram on Oct 11.
Later he would enter Vizianagaram district at Chipurupally.
The core committee meeting could noto finalise the route of the tour in Vizianagaram district because of Sirimanu Utsavam ( the village goddess festival) which would take place on Oct 13.

Praja Rajyam will give Full Powers to Panchayat Raj
Praja Rajyam Party founder president Chiranjeevi said on Thursday that his party after coming to power would delegate more powers to the gram panchayats and other local bodies. He said that the local bodies were yet to get powers under 29 subjects as envisaged by the 73rd and 74th Constitutional amendments.
“It is necessary to transfer all the powers due to the local bodies in order to achieve the self-sustainability,” he said. Mr Chiranjeevi was interacting with the villagers at the Gangadevipally, where he was on a study tour to know about the development of the village through self-help initiatives, in Geesukonda mandal of the district.
He was “surprised” by the unprecedented development of the village, which has achieved total literacy, total enrollment, and self-sustainability in several areas, and called for the replication of the success in all other villages of the State. Reminiscing his film career, Mr Chiranjeevi said that he had also played an activist role in his Rudraveena movie, which also highlighted the village development.
He said every person in Gangadevipally lived the role in their real life. The actor was awestruck when village sarpanch Kusam Raja Mouly said they would impose Rs 500 fine on those who fail to water their plants and those who defy village committees.
Few options before Praja Rajyam Party
If an assessment made by the senior officials in the Government is to be believed, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) may not have anything to ‘offer’ to address the Maoist problem in the State.
The officials, who have pondered in depth, as to what stand the PRP could take on the burning Naxal issue, have informed the Government that the PRP is left with no ‘choice.’ The PRP too has so far not come out with its stand on the issue.
Top government sources told Express that Chiranjeevi had only one option — that of inviting the Maoists to the discussion table — which he has already lost to Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.
After the Congress came to power, Reddy had invited Maoist leaders for talks which ultimately failed.
During the last few years, the documents seized from the Maoists stated that going to talks with the government was the ‘‘biggest strategic error’’ they had made and would never repeat the ‘mistake.’
‘‘The Chiranjeevi camp is already aware that even if it invites the Maoists for talks, the latter are simply going to turn down the proposal. The PRP camp has had several rounds of unending discussions over its stand on the Naxal issue and many in the party have opined that they are left with no choice,’’ sources disclosed, adding that the Government was aware of these developments.
They believe that the PRP is left with no option but to keep the issue hanging until elections.
Interestingly, in a document available with the police top brass, the Maoists spoke about the popularity of Chiranjeevi, indicating that they were looking forward for the PRP to come to power, while lashing out at the TDP and the Congress.
They probably are not aware of the fact that Chiranjeevi has nothing to offer to them and would remain quiet till the elections are over and then might take a stand.
Meanwhile, inputs trickling in from the Maoist-infested Andhra-Orissa-Border suggest that the extremists are planning a major operation in the State, especially Visakhapatnam, before the elections.
Praja Rajyam says no to Power Sharing
The Praja Rajyam on Friday dismissed the idea of power sharing with the Telugu Desam Party after the elections, a proposal mooted by CPI State secretary K. Narayana.
The CPI leader at a meeting in Sangareddy on Wednesday had said that after the elections, ‘sharing and rotation of power’ between the two main opposition parties like the TDP and the Praja Rajyam could be considered. Praja Rajyam spokesmen P. Mitra and Parakala Prabhakar categorically told presspersons that they had never entertained such thoughts.
“We have not even spent a minute thinking on those lines. Just to set the record straight, we do not feel such a proposal is in any way feasible,” Mr. Parakala said. On alliances, he reiterated that since its birth, Praja Rajyam had gone ahead with the confidence that it was the only alternative for progress, considering the policies of the TDP and the Congress and the way they were being implemented.
Too early
Mr. Parakala reiterated that it was not averse to any political alliances and added that at this point in time, the Praja Rajyam simply was not thinking on those lines. “It is too early and when the time comes, we shall think of it,” he said. “We are convinced that Gangadevipalli model of governance is the ultimate form of ‘praja rajyam’ (self-governance). That in essence is what Praja Rajyam is working for,” he stated.
Public hearing
Referring to Friday’s public hearing on bauxite mining at Chintapalli in Visakhapatnam district, Praja Rajyam spokesman P. Mitra criticised the government for deploying Greyhounds, the elite anti-naxalite police force and dissuading people from attending the hearing.
Ad hoc panels
Guntur Special Correspondent writes: Praja Rajyam is waiting for some key political personalities to join the party before it could finalise the constitution of district committees.
However, ad-hoc committees were likely to be in place either before Chiranjeevi’s north-Andhra tour begins on October 9 or during his tour. Hectic exercise was going on in the party’s central office to finalise the names of the members of the committees.
One of the key persons designing the core concepts of PR policies and helping Chiranjeevi grasp public perspective on welfare, urban development policies of State government is a former IAS officer hailing from Guntur Thota Chandrasekhar.
Mr. Chandrasekhar, who had headed four important corporations of Maharashtra in his 20 years of service, said, “The transparency in all activities and thinking differently had attracted me towards Chiranjeevi.”
The honesty in reaching out to people, promise to design policies that help share resources transparently with equality, would bring the new generation youth closer to the party, he felt.
Megastar Chiranjeevi, now a True Leader
The initial tentativeness in his statements has gone and he is confidently speaking on any issue - be it fertiliser crisis, weavers’ suicides, special economic zones or even Indo-US nuclear deal. “He appears to be a lot more confident in his approach now. Even with regard to sensitive issues like Telangana, he is dealing in a more matured fashion,” a political analyst observed.
What could be the reason for his dramatic transformation in Chiranjeevi’s personality? “Well, direct interaction with people to have first hand knowledge about their problems will always broaden one’s perspective. That’s what has happened to Chiranjeevi. Instead of merely depending on the information fed by his advisors, Chiranjeevi decided to go people directly.
Even while dealing with the media, there has been a sea change in him in the last one month. In the first press conference on August 17, Chiranjeevi was very soft and polite with media persons, who were flooding him with a volley of questions. He looked very nervous and at times, confused at answering some critical questions.
And he answered all the questions with aplomb. The way he answered the question with regard to Chiranjeevi's opposition towards Indo-US nuclear deal shows how he transformed himself into a true politician.
Political observers feel that the more Chiranjeevi goes into people, the more matured he would become in politics. “I am sure, by the end of his State-wide tour, the megastar would emerge as mega politician,” an analyst said.
Chiru road show from Arasavilli
HYDERABAD:
Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi will kick off his road show after offering prayers at the Sri Suryanarayanaswamy (Sun) Temple in Arasavilli, four km away from Srikakulam on October 9.
However, on suggestions that prayers were in order on the day because it was Vijayadasami, the party president decided Arasavilli as the starting point.
Between October 9 and 12, Mr. Chiranjeevi’s convoy of vehicles carrying an estimated 600-strong people with him including party leaders, aides, presspersons and at least 350 security personnel will cover about 150 km in Srikakulam district before entering Vizianagaram.
Route plan
The party’s core committee spent almost the whole day chalking out a route plan that would enable the actor-turned-politician to cover as many places as possible and in the shortest possible time. But try as they might, logistics worked out that he would not be able to travel more than 40 km a day.
On Saturday evening, the party also finalised names of those who would be in the 12 committees being put together exclusively to handle the tour.
Among them are former MP Ch. Harirama Jogaiah as Tour Coordinator, Political Relations, former IPS officer C. Anjaneya Reddy, Tour Coordinator, Planning and Route Committee, assisted by gastro-enterologist Dr. P. Vinay Kumar, actor Pawan Kalyan, for security and gastro-enterologist Dr. P. Mitra as Convenor, Party Coordination Committee.
Local issues
PR spokesman Parakala Prabhakar and a reader at the London School of Economics, M. Pramod Reddy are in the Regional Issues Study Committee that will be responsible for providing inputs on local issues to the party president.

Chiru’s State tour from October 9
HYDERABAD: Praja Rajyam (PR) president Chiranjeevi will visit Gangadevipalli, the village that bagged the national award for local governance, in Geesukonda mandal of Warangal district on Thursday, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti.
In a marked departure from his earlier visits to Sircilla and Polepalli that were aimed at getting first-hand information about the weavers’ plight and the special economic zone-affected people, the trip to Gangadevipalli is meant to study the local government system put in place in the village.
The CPI (M)-dominated village shot into news for its committees headed by women at grassroots level that manage drinking water, drainage and sewerage and other amenities.
“We will have to learn lessons from the village for incorporating local government issues in our party agenda,” PR official spokesman P. Mitra said.
Accompanied by another spokesman Parakala Prabhakar, he announced at a press conference here on Wednesday that Mr. Chiranjeevi would commence the first leg of his proposed State-wide yatra on October 9 from Ichapuram in Srikakulam district on Vijayadasami, October 9.
The route for the first phase, expected to last about eight to nine days covering three north coastal districts, had been finalised and the coordinators were fine-tuning the programme to ensure that the film star would interact with the maximum number of people. Committees
Refuting reports that the party had appointed coordinators for districts, they said ad hoc committees had been constituted only to oversee programmes like inauguration of party offices and hoisting party flags on Gandhi Jayanti.
“The party will keep the structure of the panels in public domain once they are finalised. We have not yet finalised any committee,” Dr. Mitra said.
Meanwhile, Congress leader from Nellore C.V. Sesha Reddy formally announced his decision to join the PR.
Mr. Sesha Reddy had distanced himself from the Congress since the elections to Legislative Council when he was defeated by a rebel candidate.
“There is no place for genuine workers in the Congress. This has forced me to quit the party,” he said.

Chiru disagrees with APJ
Hyderabad, Sept. 28: The Praja Rajyam chief, Chiranjeevi has learnt the tricks of the trade. Chiranjeevi who praised the former president, Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, for guiding him into politics, has differences with the latter on the Indo-US nuclear deal. Chiranjeevi had even said that he was dreaming for the people as Kalam had often advised.
During a media conference on Sunday, Chiranjeevi said: “Kalam might have made a macroscopic observation. He is a statesman and can’t be expected to speak against the deal like a politician. But I am a politician and I will speak for the people as there are some apprehensions over the deal,” he said. However, Chiranjeevi became mum when it was pointed out that Dr Kalam did have some reservations over the issue.
Chiru still studying issues
హైదరాబాద్-Srikakulam, Sept. 28: The Praja Rajyam president, Chiranjeevi, fumbled on question of how he will solve contentious issues troubling the state, and over on the "itinerary of his maiden political tour across the state". His standard reply over the last month on any important issue has been: "We are studying it." A press conference on Sunday showed that Chiranjeevi was still grappling with policies on key issues.
Even though he visited farmers who will be displaced by the Special Economic Zone at Polepally and weavers at Sircilla, the PR chief failed to answer related queries. Angered by a volley of questions by mediapersons, a visibly upset Chiranjeevi tried to end the meeting abruptly saying: "I am not an IAS officer to know about every issue."
Earlier, referring to suicide by Sircilla weavers, the PR chief questioned the apathy of the government towards them. "Please concentrate on the welfare of weavers and curb suicides rather than criticising my visits,’ Chiranjeevi said. When asked how the PR planned to alleviate sufferings of weavers, he said: "We are examining the issue and will announce our policy soon."
The PR president replied on the same lines on restoration of land to poor farmers whose lands were acquired by SEZs, industries and other projects in the state.
Interestingly, Chiranjeevi was not sure when his maiden state-wide tour will begin. Referring to reports in a section of media that he will start his yatra on October 2, Chiranjeevi said: "It is strange that I come to know about my tour itinerary through the media. We are still to plan it. I am not sure of the date, but I will start the yatra in Srikakulam much before Dasara."
The PR chief said that his party membership drive would start on Gandhi jayanti. A top leader of the party told this newspaper at Srikakulam on Sunday that the yatra will start at Itchapuram but the date has not been confirmed. Astrologers had said Itchapuram was auspicious.
Party leaders Chegondi Hariram Jogaiah, Dr Vinay, Banguluru Ravi, Allu Aravind and two advisors of Pavan Kalyan held a meeting in the roads and building guest house in the afternoon to discuss the venue of public meetings and the route map of the yatra.
Great change in Chiru's style and tone!
Did anybody watch the change in style, tone and tenor in megastar-turned-politician Chiranjeevi these days?
A close observation of his press conference on Sunday clearly indicated that there is a dramatic change in Chiranjeevi's style, eversince he returned from his two public visits. In the initial days of his launch of political party, Chiranjeevi used to be modest, shy and quiet in his talk and walk. He used to give innocent smiles and was hesitant to reply questions from the media.
But now, Chiranjeevi is lot more confidant. His facial expressions remind us of his heroic roles in the films, quickly changing from question to question. He is displaying irritation, anger and sarcasm in his replies and is also avoiding answers to questions that are unpalatable to him.
What is more, he is calling media persons by their names and using singular number (eka vachanam) – changing from "meeru" to "nuvvu."
Praja Rajyam to Begin Membership Drive
A decision to this effect was taken by the PRP leadership after two days of deliberations.
The party activities would be held in a festive manner coinciding with the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi on October 2.
Party flags would be hoisted in every village and membership drive would also be taken up simultaneously.
However, the drive would be a continuous exercise, he said.
He said that a physically challenged youth Balakrishna Naidu would take the first membership and he himself be the second one, the hero said.
Regarding his tour programme, he said the first leg of his tour would be the three north coastal districts. He would start from Srikakulam district and cover Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts lasting six days.
Next leg of the tour would be in Telangana districts, he said.
Praja Rajyam chief Chiru Cheered through Out
Unlike his first visit to Sirisila, Chiranjeevi declared in advance that he will be visiting Porupalli @ MahaboobNagar. People were seen throughout the roads starting from Shamshabad . Chiranjeevi too cheered in return to people at Shadnagar Centre.
At Balanagar too huge mobs gathered to Cheer Chiru on his way to Mahaboob Nagar. Roads were blocked by party supporters and people . Chiranjeevi security had hard time in controlling mobs. From reliable sources its learnt that PavanKalyan have the blue print and controlled the fans. talking to mobs. Chiru even categorically said that the Opening stone laid for rehabilation package was not dried, and was laid on knowing about his visit.
Fans thronged Porupalli from Nagar Kurnool, Jedcherla into Porupalli to support Chiru. 4 kms of road is blocked near the spot where Chiru is supposed to conduct a meeting in support to SEZ. Few old people recalled the days when NTR first toured AP for TDP and said that Chiru's received better response.
Four hurt as Chiru, Balakrishna fans clash
NARSARAOPET:
Tense situation prevailed at Balayya Nagar here on Sunday afternoon after fans of Balakrishna and Chiranjeevi clashed resulting in injuries to four persons.
The incident took place when the Balakrishna Yuva Sena were taking out a rally. Trouble broke out when the rally reached Balayya Nagar where Praja Rajyam activists were staging a protest .
Chiru cornered on nuke deal
‘Praja Rajyam will come up with firm plans to rescue weavers’
HYDERABAD: The Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi found himself on a sticky wicket when he said that while he was inspired to enter politics by former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, a man who favoured the Indo-US nuclear deal, the party per se was “not exactly supportive of it.”
At a press conference here on Sunday, he was responding to a question on how his party had participated in an anti-nuclear deal rally even as he claimed to draw political inspiration from Dr. Kalam, a strong supporter of the accord.
“Dr. Kalam is a great scientist and only expressed his support from a macro perspective. He cannot talk about the smaller details like a politician because he is a statesman,” Mr Chiranjeevi said.
Blaming successive Governments for failing to come to the rescue of suffering weavers, he said only a permanent solution would help improve their lot and stop suicides. If a long-term solution were in place, the three weavers would not have ended their lives in Sircilla on September 27, he said and regretted that instead of devising ways of helping them, people’s representatives, specially those of the Congress, were throwing challenges at him.
The actor-politician said the PR was interacting with experts to put together a draft policy paper on how it would deal with the situation. They would come up with firm plans to rescue weavers in the short-term and also provide long-term solutions to improve their condition. Membership drive
He announced that on Gandhi Jayanti, his fans and party sympathisers in every town would hoist the party flag. It would also mark the start of the party’s membership drive. He said as promised earlier, Balakrishna Naidu, a physically challenged youth from Chikkadpally would be enrolled as the first member of the PRP, while he himself would be the second.

Chiru is no hero for former heroines
Hyderabad, Sept. 22: Many heroines who ran around trees and sang lovey-dovey duets with Chiranjeevi in reel life are spurning him in the political arena. On screen, their eyelashes fluttered with adoration on seeing the hero, but now many of them talk as if they can’t bear the sight of him. Roja, the president of Telugu Mahila, the women’s wing of the Telugu Desam, was Chiranjeevi’s heroine in many films. Some of the films, including Mutha Mestri, were blockbusters.
But now Roja has no good words for her former hero. In fact, she lashes out at him every day. "His role is nil when it comes to helping the needy in times of natural disasters in the state," says Roja. Vijayashanti, who has acted in the most number of films with Chiranjeevi and was considered to be the heroine who most suited him, is also a bitter critic of the star.
Both of them are in the opposite poles of the political spectrum and fans are sad to see them snipe at each other. But there are chances of the lucky pair getting together again. Vijayashanti is planning to merge her political outfit with the Telangana Rastra Samiti. And if the TRS joins hands with the Praja Rajyam, then fans will see Chiranjeevi and Vijayashanti together in a campaign van.
Popular heroine Nagma, who acted with Chiranjeevi in many films, is now in the Congress. Chances are that she will be campaigning against Chiranjeevi. Similarly, Jaya Sudha, who donned some good roles with Chiranjeevi is all set to join the Congress to spearhead the attack against her screen hero. However, the megastar may find some relief in another former heroine Jaya Prada, whose Samajwadi Party is trying for an alliance with Praja Rajyam.
But if the SP sticks on to its alliance with the Congress and Chiranveevi goes against the latter, then even Jayaprada may have to lash out at the actor. The only exception would be actress Suhasini who is likely to join Praja Rajyam.
Shobha criticises Naidu for using Roja to attack Chiru
Hyderabad, Sept. 22: The Praja Rajyam president, Chiranjeevi, has adopted the Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu’s tactic of firing salvos at political rivals using selected leaders. And the first target of this attack by Chiranjeevi’s party was none other than the TD supremo himself. The former TD leader, Ms Shobha Nagi Reddy, who joined the Praja Rajyam on Monday lashed out at Mr Naidu for using film actor Roja to attack the megastar-turned-politician.
It may be recalled here that Roja, the TD Mahila Wing leader and former heroine of Chiranjeevi, criticised him saying that he had entered politics solely to gain power and was motivated by self-interest. She had said that Chiranjeevi had never helped anyone in the film industry while he was the superstar.
Retorting sharply to Roja’s comments on Chiranjeevi, Ms Shobha Nagi Reddy said that the TD chief was conducting a competition among his party functionaries on who would criticise rivals the best. "He is using Assembly tickets as bait and this is nothing but political bankruptcy," she added. This was the first time that a leader other than the party spokesperson had held a press conference at the PR headquarters. On the other hand, Chiranjeevi refused to react to the critical comments made by the Congress and the TD on his Siricilla tour by saying that he would not respond to personal attacks.
"As I was moved by the hardships of the weavers in Siricilla during my recent visit, I questioned the lackadaisical attitude of the government and local MLA towards the plight of the weavers," he said. He has also set up a committee under the chairmanship of Mr K.S.R. Murthy to study the problems of the weavers. The megastar said he had not yet decided when to launch his state-wide tour. "I was thinking of beginning my yatra in the first week of October," he said. "But, some of our party leaders are suggesting that I take it up after the Dasara festival."

BJP welcomes Chiru’s Sircilla visit
KARIMNAGAR: Sircilla
BJP State president Bandaru Dattatreya praised Praja Rajyam party founder Chiranjeevi’s visit to Sircilla town to study the plight of distressed weavers and listen to the woes of bereaved families of powerloom weavers, who resorted to suicides due to unemployment.
Talking to The Hindu over phone on Saturday night, Mr. Dattatreya suggested that
Mr.Chiranjeevi should come out openly and expose the misdeeds of the State Government on all fronts.
He demanded that the government waive about Rs. 350 crore loans taken by weavers of the State.
He said that the party is taking all steps to fill the present political vaccum in the State. On the Telangana statehood issue, he said that the Congress had once again betrayed the people of Telangana after being elected on Telangana sentiment.
He said AICC president Sonia Gandhi has no face to visit Telangana region as can be seen from the fact that she is visiting only Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions.
‘Defeat Congress’
Calling upon people to defeat the Congress party in the coming elections, he said that the party would definitely grant statehood to Telangana as it has a history of giving three new States during the NDA regime.
He alleged that the Congress government is causing more harm to Telangana region by siphoning off the river waters from the region to other parts of the State. He wanted the government to convert the JNTU in Kondagattu in Karimnagar district into a university, on par with Kakinada and Anantapur institutions.
‘Sankalp yatra’
Meanwhile, in order to gear up the party machinery for the coming general elections, the party State unit launched ‘Sankalp yatra’ from Sri Raja Rajeshwara Swamy Devasthanams in Vemulawada temple town on Saturday.
Bandaru Dattatreya, senior leader Ch Vidyasagar Rao, State vice-president G. Ramakrishna Reddy, district president Prathap Ramakrishna, district leaders B. Jaganmohan Rao, S. Kumar, BJP Kisan Morcha State president P. Sugunakar Rao and others participated.
The yatra passed through Sircilla, Yellareddypet, Gambhiraopet and Mustabad mandals on
Saturday evening.
It would be culminating on October 3 at Dharmaram mandal headquarters in Karimnagar district.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Dattatreya once again reiterated that Telangana state would be a reality once the party attains power at the Centre.
Chiru on the move
Touching gesture: Praja Rajyam party founder and film star Chiranjeevi interacting with the distressed weavers families
Chiru for more surprise visits
HYDERABAD: Karimnagar Dist. Sircilla
Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi has planned a few more surprise visits, the kind he made on Saturday by driving down to Sircilla for a first-hand look at the problems faced by weavers.
Sources said without disclosing details that his visit could be either to a social welfare hostel, a residential school, hospital or to a village where farmers were facing problems getting fertilizer.
Mr. Chiranjeevi is said to be keen on ensuring that his visits do not send out a wrong message about his party’s views on Andhra Pradesh as being either ‘integrationist or separatist”.
It is likely that his next such surprise visit will be to a remote village in the Rayalaseema region, followed by another quick trip to some place in the coastal districts, most probably a flood-affected area. There has been some discussion on the subject of Mr. Chiranjeevi’s surprise visits in the party’s core committee meetings.
Creates flutter
However, Saturday’s visit to Sircilla created a flutter in party circles and it did not appear to have gone well with senior leaders who migrated to the PR from other parties. Unwilling to be quoted though, some leaders said the party presidents’ public appearance on Saturday was like giving a head start to PR aspirants from the Telangana region when it came to elections.
