BHADRACHALAM: Praja Rajyam party (PRP) president Chiranjeevi’s second leg of Praja Ankita Yatra in Telangana districts of Karimangar, Warangal and Khammam ended today on a sour note.When he resumed his yatra this morning at Tallada, members of Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti (MRPS) stopped his convoy demanding that he spell out his stand on classification of SCs. The actor had to deal with them for a while as they would not allow him to proceed further. Then he told that he would study the issue and then make a statement.
Later, the yatra resumed and ended at Bhadrachalam uneventfully.
The actor looked a bit tired as his yatra came to a close. It began on October 30 at Sircilla in Karimnagar and covered 650 km, traversing through 25 assembly constituencies.
All along the tour, the actor drew good response from the youth. His road shows went into late nights and one night it went up to 2 a.m. People waited to see their matinee idol in flesh and blood for hours on the roads. At every gathering, youth were found in big numbers much to the delight of their hero.
During his tour, he tried to drive home the point that no one in the State was happy with the present political and administrative system and promised a change in their lives. He touched several key issues bothering the people like the suicide by farmers and lack of support price for agricultural produce.
The PRP president focussed on corruption in the State and held it responsible for the lopsided growth in the State. He urged the people to come in his support to root out corruption.
Speaking at Tallada from where he began his tour in this leg this morning, he called upon the people to make him a Barack Obama of the State, who won the presidential battle in the United States of America.
“The powerful countries are also looking for a change. See what happened in America.
The people handed over the reigns to a black eventhough the country is dominated by whites,’’ he said.
At Julurupadu, for the first time, he attacked the Telugu Desam party for its promises. He said that leaders were promising that they would give everything free of cost. However, the people do not want alms but jobs for livelihood, he affirmed.
