Hyderabad (PTI): Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) on Saturday launched a three-day 'Praja Rail Yatra' with the objective of popularising its election symbol -- the rail engine.

PRP Chief Chiranjeevi flagged off a 15-bogie special train from Secunderabad railway station here that will travel across Telangana, coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema regions before culminating at Renigunta near Tirupati on April 13.

The special train has been christened 'Samajika Nyaya Sakatam'.

"The train and the rail engine truly symbolise social justice, which is our party's main plank," he claimed.

Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan Tej and nephew Allu Arjun are on board the train greeting people at important stations en route.

"My basic purpose is to popularise the PRP election symbol, the rail engine. I am not campaigning for the party or my father as such. I am only supporting him," Ram Charan Tej told PTI over phone from the special train that halted briefly at Warangal.

Chiranjeevi and his younger brother, actor Pavan Kalyan were also scheduled to ride the train but are going ahead with road shows and public meetings.
