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.
