Prajarajyam Activists Buzz with Enthusiasm

A festive atmosphere was witnessed at the Prajarajyam city-cum-district office located at Sikhamani Centre here with local leaders and ticket aspirants showing an undeniable upbeat mood for the party’s first major political meeting here on Sunday since its inception.

Campaign material

The otherwise-sleepy Sikhamani Centre near Madhu Chowk woke up to a new beehive of activity, as the PRP activists worked tirelessly to decorate every nook and corner there with colourful posters, festoons, flags and most importantly their favourite leader Chiranjeevi’s pictures. The young volunteers wore PRP caps and T-shirts with the party’s colours and its leader’s pictures.

Flattered by an endless inflow of volunteers, who were ready to help in making the public meeting a success, the PRP leaders distributed campaign material. A sizeable number of women took up the responsibilities to organise the big event of the day.

A clearly enthusiastic mood prevailed among the second-rung leadership, particularly those wanting to make the big start in politics by throwing their weight behind the PRP. Ticket aspirants for three Assembly constituencies were seen coordinating some work or the other. The atmosphere provided evidence of how intense competition would be seen among ticket aspirants in the days to come.

“Our present activity has nothing to do with the chances of our getting ticket. It is our first big political meeting here. So there is a lot of euphoria,” said Gundapu Chandrasekhar, who left the Telugu Desam Party and joined the PRP in the presence of Mr. Chiranjeevi sometime back.

Added attraction

He said with confidence that there would be more people becoming active in the PRP in the near future.

Women activists wearing sarees with the display of ‘rising sun’ symbol stood as special attraction throughout the day at the PRP office.

An interesting feature of the show was that Tupakula Munemma of Yanadi tribe from Nellore district came all the way from her native place to attend the meeting.

Her presence was requested and ensured to underline the importance that the PRP would give to its women leaders and particularly those hailing from weaker sections.

Ms. Munemma, who was the first ever PRP candidate declared by Mr. Chiranjeevi to contest Assembly polls on the party ticket, started from Nellore in the morning to reach the public meeting venue in the evening.
