Nagababu play real minister role in life

Nagababu will mostly be contesting for polls from the Vizianagaram constituency since this is the strong area for minister Bothsa Satyanarayana of Congress who has been ridiculing Chiru at every given chance. PRP is keen on getting back at him and who better than megabrother himself. However, a final confirmation is still awaited on this news.

Pavan to head P R P – Yuva Rajyam

Proving the allegations of family fiefdom in Praja Rajyam correct, the PR chief Chiranjeevi appointed his younger brother Pavan Kalyan, 37, as the head of the party’s youth wing “Yuva Rajyam” on Sunday. Chiranjeevi described his brother as a person who is socially conscious. Mr Kalyan in turn praised the PR chief as a humanist. “Some are pointing fingers at me for giving importance to some of my family members in the party. However, I don’t agree with this sort of criticism. I appointed Pavan Kalyan not because he’s my brother, but only after considering his social consciousness. Kalyan always thinks about the needy and the downtrodden. As his brother, I closely observed his altruism. That is why I selected Kalyan for this post. He who also enjoys clout among the youth. In fact, he is also one among those who inspired me to launch this party,” Chiranjeevi said. On the question of family rule in the Praja Rajyam, Chiranjeevi said: “Despite their relationship with me, Kalyan and Nagababu are popular with the public, which is why I encouraged them. And I never saw Allu Aravind as my brother-in-law. He is more than a friend to me.” .” –DC

Chiru – Simhapuri tour from 29th

Megastar Chiranjeevi has completed his Rayalaseema tour and he would start his fourth round of tour from 29th of this month from Prakashm district towards Nellore for which all necessary arrangements are being made. This is the talk in the industry but offiical announcement for the same is yet to be announced.

Chiru – Seema tour concludes

The six-day Praja Ankita Yatra of the Praja Rajyam (PR) president, Chiranjeevi, concluded in Rayalaseema at Railwaykodur in Kadapa district on Friday. With this, Chiranjeevi completed his first phase of tour in the state. The PR is likely to gauge its strength as the yatra has finished going around Andhra, Telangana and Rayalaseema regions. As several people attended the yatra in Rayalaseema, the Congress and the Telugu Desam (TD) leaders feel that they should not underestimate the PR. The PR activists are confident as Chiranjeevi’s tour of 16 Assembly constituencies and four Lok Sabha constituencies in Rayalaseema was well received. Earlier, all the parties felt that the PR was strong only in north coastal Andhra. Chiranjeevi depended on his movie glamour during his tour in Rayalaseema. In almost all his meetings, the PR chief mentioned about his movie Indra which was produced in the backdrop of Rayalaseema factions. When compared to his tour in north coastal Andhra and Telangana regions, Chiranjeevi was less critical of the government in Rayalaseema. He mentioned about corruption and factionism in the region. However, Chiranjeevi’s speeches failed to enthuse the people. Barring his fans, others said his speeches were lacklustre. Out of 16 Assembly constituencies Chiranjeevi toured in Kadapa and Anantapur districts, Congress MLAs represent 13 constituencies and the TD MLAs represent the remaining three constituencies. The PR chief mainly targeted the Congress in his speeches. During his three-day in Anantapur district, there was good response for Chiranjeevi’s roadshows in the first two days and the response in the last day was lukewarm. In Chiranjeevi’s three-day tour in the Kadapa district, the Congress and the PR activists clashed in Pulivendula, the constituency of the Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, on the first day. His meeting in Pulivendula became a success. People thronged his meetings on the second and final day of his tour in the Kadapa district. The response to Chiranjeevi’s roadshows in Penukonda, Hindupur and Dharmavaram constituencies, represented by the TD MLAs, in the Anantapur district was good. However, the response to his tour in Singanamala, Gooty and Tadipatri constituencies, represented by the Congress MLAs, in the Anantapur district was lukewarm. In Kadapa district, the response to Chiranjeevi’s tour in Proddutur, Mydukur, Kadapa and Rajampet constituencies was good. Except Badvel and Rayachoti, Chiranjeevi toured all constituencies in the district. -D C

Chiru tour turns ‘reel’ yatra

Chiranjeevi’s Praja Ankita Yatra has turned into a good opportunity for people in the Rayalaseema region to shake hands with him and and get his autograph. Instead of venting their woes, people are busy asking the actor-turned politician to enact scenes from his blockbuster films like Indra, Tagore and Shankar Dada MBBS rather their telling him of their problem.

This has come as a major blow to the Praja Rajyam leadership which wanted to use the yatra to woo voters. Political observers say people still see Chiranjeevi as an actor rather than as a politician.
Even though the PR chief is getting a good response for his road shows, party leaders are wondering if it will turn into votes.

“Chiranjeevi is drawing huge crowds, during his shows. Youngsters are struggling to get his autograph. Though some people are trying to tell him of their problems, these are very rare,” said a PR leader who is accompanying the actor. It was evident on Thursday when Chiranjeevi addressed road shows in Kadapa district. All through the day, he just received one memorandum from farmers.

The PR chief also seems to have realised that there is no other option for him but to re-enact scenes from his films to attract people. At one point on Wednesday, Chiranjeevi twirled his moustache and slapped his thigh while re-enacting a scene from Indra during a road show in Pulivendula, the home constituency of the Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy.

A PR leader, Mr Seshanarayan, said, “He knows the only way to attract youngsters is through dialogues.” When asked about this, both the agriculture minister, Mr N. Raghuveera Reddy and the Telugu Desam politburo member, Dr Nagam Janardhan Reddy, said the people were thronging the roadshows only to see the actor.
