Committed to Social Justice, says Allu Aravind

The public meeting organised by the prajarajyam (PRP) here on Sunday on the occasion of the inauguration of its Krishna district office witnessed an impressive gathering, as party leader Allu Aravind reiterated the party’s commitment to extending social justice to all sections in the State.

Sympathisers, activists and enthusiasts from all corners of the district attended and made the public meeting a success. Youngsters and women also participated in the meeting in sizeable numbers, even as all roads leading to the venue were choked with people.

Dig at Congress

Mr. Aravind used the opportunity to make an indirect attack on the ruling Congress saying that the fruits and benefits of the welfare and developmental programmes were not reaching the intended sections of society.

“The benefits are not reaching the last person. It is important that every poor family receives support and succour,” he said.

Reasserting the prajarajyam’s priority in addressing the problems of the weaker sections, Mr. Aravind said that real progress in the society would be possible only when the benefits of developmental programmes reached one and all. More efforts should be made in this regard, and the PRP would be in the forefront of ensuring this to the welfare of all in the State.

Tupakula Munemma, dalit woman from Nellore district, said that she was very happy at the new recognition given to her by the PRP led by Chiranjeevi.

She said that a lot needed to be done for improving the lot of weaker sections who were facing a number of problems. Ms. Munemma was the first candidate whose name was announced to contest the Assembly elections on the PRP ticket.

Rousing reception

Earlier, a rousing reception was accorded to Mr. Aravind at the Gannavaram airport. Senior party leaders Kamineni Srinivas, city leaders Kesineni Nani, Y.S. Murali, Boppana Bhava Kumar, Gundapu Chandrasekhar and others were among those who received the senior leader.

Mr. Aravind came in a rally in which youth and activists participated in hundreds of bikes and cars. The rally passed through Ramavarappadu, Ring Road, Benz Circle, Mahatma Gandhi Road before reaching Sikhamani Centre, the venue of the public meeting and the location of the party office.
