Chiranjeevi claims he is greater than NTR

Drawing a parallel between the legendary Telugu film actor, N.T. Rama Rao and himself, the Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi on Monday claimed that he had more clout among the people than NTR.

Even though the PR failed to create departments in the party’s state committee due to non-availability of suitable leaders, Chiranjeevi claimed that he broke NTR’s record in constituting party committees.

“NTR set up party committees only after he came to power. We have done it before the elections. Leaders in our party are vying with each other for party posts as they are enthusiastic to serve the people. It indicates that the PR has more clout among the people,” Chiranjeevi said while addressing the PR district committees’ convention at the Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad on Monday. Chiranjeevi asked his cadre to constitute booth level committees and village level committees as it is crucial to transform public response into votes in the ensuing elections.

However, the PR chief failed to clarify queries posed by party leaders on how the PR will bring about change and how it will be different from other parties. He also did not clarify how the PR will uplfit the downtrodden.

“Telugu Desam is scared of PRP”

Yuva Rajyam president Pavan Kalyan is of the view that the tremendous success of his brother Chiranjeevi’s public meetings is creating jitters in other political parties, particularly, the Telugu Desam.

Referring to TD leaders’ criticism that PRP is like a bubble ready to burst, Pavan Kalyan said such comments itself indicate that the TD is in a panicky mood. “If PRP is a bubble, there is no need for TD to talk about it at all. The very fact that they are making comments on us shows how much worried they are about growing popularity of PRP,” he said.

He refutied the criticism that PRP was dominated by only Chiranjeevi’s family members. “Don’t worry. I am not going to contest polls, but will work as an ordinary soldier,” he said.

Chiru ditches Jaya Prada

The Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Prada is quite close to the Praja Rajyam Party chief Chiranjeevi. She also holds him in high esteem and has made several statements assuring of her full support.

Jaya Prada who is the in charge of the Samajwadi Party in Andhra Pradesh also announced that she was ready to campaign for Chiranjeevi. All this naturally led people to believe that the Samajwadi Party was inching towards some sort of a tie-up with the PRP for the coming elections.

But in a sudden announcement, Chiranjeevi said that the PRP will enter into an alliance with the Bahujan Samaj Party. Chiranjeevi wants to ensure the support of the dalits and other backward classes and hence is looking towards Mayawathi.

It is no secret that the SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and the BSP supremo Mayawathi are bitter enemies. So now it means that the SP will not have any truck with the PRP in the state. As such, there is no way Jaya Prada can campaign for the PRP.

Chiranjeevi says Corrupt government is not leaving Panchabuthas

Speaking at the prajaankita yatra here at Nellore; Praja Rajyam party president Chiranjeevi said that the current Congress Government was acting like a drunkard and was only bothered about pleasing themselves and filling money in their banks. He further said that like a drunk father treats his family; the government wasn’t bothered by the people’s plight.

On the third day of his tour to Nellore district, he visited Koovuuruu, Buchhi, Aatmakuru, kavali and Vinjamuuru. At the meetings Chiranjeevi also referred to the failure of cloud seeding and said that the Government was trying to make money from natural resources.

Chiranjeevi referred to the frequent battles of current politicians in the assembly, where they claim how corrupt each other is, he said it looks like politicians are no more guilty of eating into public money. He requested the people to vote PRP into power and said that his party was focused on cleansing the government system of corruption.

During the praja ankita yaatra Chiranjeevi requested munamma a old activist to stand next to him, and requested the people to look up to such people to find a reason to counter corruption and bad governance.[source:chiru.in]

Pawan Kalyan vows to take on Congress

In a sharp response to Congressmen burning his effigy and their ‘Gandhigiri’ at the Praja Rajyam Party office here on Wednesday, president of its youth wing Pawan Kalyan said he was ready to take on any Congressman.

At a press conference here on Thursday, the ‘Yuva Rajyam’ president referred to Congress leaders across the State reacting to his comments against them, made on Tuesday by saying he would pay the price.

In a rhetoric, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said he had told his family members that in assisting his brother and Praja Rajyam president K. Chiranjeevi in his endeavour, he was even ready for the ‘supreme sacrifice’.

“When Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy heaped criticism on the Praja Rajyam calling it a party that operated more like a movie production house, we did not attack Gandhi Bhavan or go to Dr. Reddy’s house in protest,” he said.

He said it was not as if either himself or the Praja Rajyam cadres were incapable of physically re-buffing criticism against them or even using harsh language while doing so.

“We are only abiding by our president Mr. Chiranjeevi’s principle that we shall be respectful even while criticising others in a democracy and refrain from personalised attacks,” he said

Radha To Quit Assembly Before Pongal

The angry young legislator, Vangaveeti Radha Krishna, who switched over to Praja Rajyam Party, is set to quit Assembly in the next couple of days.

Initially, he refused to quit Assembly as its term ends in just three months. However, the PRP leaders have reportedly prevailed upon him to quit the Assembly before taking up new assignment in the party. Accordingly, he had agreed to quit and send his resignation letter in the next couple of days. He had already surrendered his gun man provided by the government.

Meanwhile, sources said that the PRP is planning to make him the Yuva Rajyam incharge for the coastal districts, where his father, Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga, has good following. He is being tipped for this post to assist Pawan Kalyan in rallying youth for the party.

Though Chiranjeevi himself had failed to infuse life into the cadre due to lack of oratory skills, Pawan Kalyan, is now being seen as the source of inspiration for the youth. The PRP sees greater advantage to the party, if young leaders like Radha Krishna are added to the team. The leaders are also looking for equal match to Radha Krishna from Rayalaseema and Telangana regions as these three young leaders would strengthen Pawan Kalyan’s hands.

Why only Cong and TD every time

Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi appears to have failed in convincing the people as to why they should elect his party to power in the next elections.

His mantra is “change.” But what is that change? Chiranjeevi is not able to explain to the people what change he would bring about in the lives of the people if he comes to power. But, he wants the people to bring a change in the ruling party. “Why do you always choose between only the Congress and Telugu Desam? They have been ruling the State one after the other in the last three decades. Both the parties are nothing but two sides of the same coin. Now, it is the time to experiment with a third alternative: Praja Rajyam Party,” he said at a public meeting in Nellore.

Political analysts say this argument will not go down well with the people. They do not want change of political parties in power for the sake of change. They want a change in the governance. And Chiranjeevi would have to focus on how he would give a better governance. As long as he is concentrating on inviting defectors from other parties, rather than projecting an alternative model of governance, people would not believe him.

Chiru fans to file cases against Jeevitha

Visakhapatnam: Members of the Chiranjeevi blood donors club will file civil, criminal and defamation cases in the district court here on Monday against actor Rajasekhar’s wife and Mahila Congress leader Jeevitha for her derogatory remarks on Chiranjeevi blood banks in the state.

Stating that Jeevitha has hurt their feeling with her comments that the blood banks are doing business at the expense of the commoners, the members said they won’t keep quiet till the actor’s wife apologises to the lakhs of Chiranjeevi fans. They said they would release a white paper on the blood supplied to the needy people by the Chiranjeevi blood banks. “If our blood banks are doing business, then how did the government give the best blood bank award to the Chiranjeevi blood bank,” one of the members said.

PRP Chief Chiranjeevi challenges TDP & Cong will you get the same crowd

Mr. Chiranjeevi, PRP president throwed a challenge to both Congress Party as well as TDP whether they can garner same public response which he is getting, as these parties are criticizing him by saying, what does film actors know about politics? What do they know about problems faced by common man? And at the same time saying that there is lukewarm response from the public to his meetings. He spoke in a public meeting on Sunday night in Venkatagiri located in Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore District. While addressing the gathering he says people are waiting for hours because of the affection they have on him. He told youth is getting ready to strip off the power from Congress Party as it is indulging in high corrupt practices. He expressed his opinion that Congress Party and TDP are considering the State as their own property. He also felt that both parties are feeling that transfer of power should take place between them only and not to anyone else. But their desire will not get fulfilled this time, he told the meeting. He lambasted the publicity done by the Congress Party about the popular scheme of loan for 25 paise interest. He told that the benefit of this scheme is not received by major sections of the society. He also told that medical facilities existing in government hospital is horrible and pregnant women are delivering infants in burial grounds and bathrooms. He questioned whether these incidents could be considered as signs for development as boosted highly by the ruling party. He told that if PRP comes to power then he would start small-scale industries to provide employment to youth. He expressed anguish about the rampant scale of corruption prevailing in the state, by giving an example of a public servant earning Rs. 200 Crores. He expressed that the public response he is getting is due to the relation he had maintained with public during the last 30 years of his life.
