People want change: Chiru

People want change: Chiru
Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) chief Chiranjeevi today said the people of the State, who were vexed with the ruling Congress
Government as well as the earlier TDP regime, were now eagerly looking forward for a change.

Speaking at roadshows on the third day of his Praja Ankita Yatra in and around Kakinada, he said the people had no reason to vote for the Congress and TDP which looted the State in all aspects. Accusing the two parties of indulging in largescale corruption, Chiranjeevi said the Congress had looted people under the guise of development while the TDP had started Special Economic Zones (SEZs) to take away their lands.

Questioning the need to establish the Coastal Corridor, he said it was intended to benefit some individuals at the expense of thousands of fishermen and farmers who would be thrown out of their lands. At this rate, if allowed, the Government would not hesitate to even mortgage the lives of the people for the personal gain of some people, he alleged.

The Congress Government had neglected the welfare of fishermen in the district.

Once the PRP came to power, it would take up the Anchorage Port issue and also review the agreements with a private party for creating a Deep Water Port. The party would sort out all the problems of the people, including bringing down the prices of essential commodities, he said.

Stating that his bond with the people was 30 years old, he said he would live up to their expectations. He appealed to the people to teach a fitting lesson to the corrupt rulers by electing the PRP with a huge majority in the elections. PRP convenor MS Chakravarthi, secretary Vanga Geetha and other leaders accompanied Chiranjeevi.

Chiranjeevi focusing on youth, women

Chiranjeevi focusing on youth, women
Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) chief Chiranjeevi has been mainly concentrating on youth and women in his Praja Ankita Yatra since four days in East Godavari district.

Most of his speeches have been focused on women and youth.

In fact, the PRP chief has been using dialogues from some of his films in his endeavour to inspire women and youth.

Starting his Praja Ankita Yatra on the fourth day from Mandapeta today, he advised the youth to become ‘Stalin’ and ‘Tagore’ to usher in a silent revolution in the State.

Women and youth were more powerful and it was the right time to show their might in the elections, he added.

Youth should come forward to eradicate corruption, poverty, unemployment and illiteracy, the PRP chief said.

Launching a frontal attack on the government, he alleged that the agriculture sector was neglected and welfare of the farming community forgotten. If the farmers went on strike for one year, what would be the fate of the so-called leaders as well as the State, he asked. Supplying of free power to farmers was the duty of the government, he opined. Agriculture Minister N Raghuveera Reddy knew nothing about agriculture except politics, he alleged.

Allot symbols to Prajarajyam, LS & DMDK: SC

Allot symbols to Prajarajyam, LS & DMDK: SC
http://www.zeenews.com/nation/2009-03-27/518423news.html
New Delhi, March 27: The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Election Commission to allot common symbols to the three political parties -- Prajarajyam, Lok Satta and DMDK -- for the ensuing general elections.

A Bench of Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice P Sathasivam, however, clarified that the directions are only "interim" for the present elections and the parties cannot claim any equity until the dispute was settled.

The apex court also stayed an Andhra Pradesh High Court order directing the EC to allot common symbols to all registered political parties in the state.

While the Prajarajyma is floated by Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi, the Lok Satta has been set up by a former IAS officer Jai Prakash Narayan and the two parties are contesting the elections for all the 42 Lok Sabha and 294 Assembly seats from Andhra Pradesh.

The DMDK headed by Tamil actor Vijaykant is contesting all the seats in the state on its own.

People were waiting to elect the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) to power as there was a political vacuum in the State due to the misrule of both the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Congress, said PRP president Chiranjeevi.

Addressing roadshows at Kotananduru, Tuni (East Godavari) and Payakaraopet (Visakhapatnam) today as part of his five-day Praja Ankita Yatra, he said both the Congress and the TDP, surprised at the success of the PRP meeting at Rajahmundry, were trying to spread a lie that the PRP had no patronage.

Describing the surveys as bogus, he told the parties to witness the overwhelming response to his Praja Ankita Yatra launched today.

Chiranjeevi said people were fed up of both the TDP and the corrupt Congress and added that the ruling party was afraid of the silent revolution which was resulting in increasing support to the PRP.

Giving a sentimental touch to his speech, Chiranjeevi said he had started his successful film career from the East Godavari district and predicted that the PRP would assume power in the elections as he had begun his campaign from East Godavari.

Criticising the Congress Government, he asked what was the use in launching Jalayagnam, when the government had failed to offer drinking water to people. He said the projects were benefiting those with vested interests.

Farmers were turning as farm workers due to lack of irrigation facility, he lamented.

Chiranjeevi wondered where social justice was when a common man was deprived of the basic facilities even after 60 years of Independence.

He said though there was abundance of human resources in the State, the government had failed to utilise them.

Chiranjeevi promised ten lakh jobs to the youth in 1,000 days, if the PRP came to power. He also promised to launch a number of welfare programmes for women.

Stating that if a large number of people were attending his programmes without the need for any mobilisation, it was because people supported him whole-heartedly. He appealed to the people to teach a lesson to the Congress and the TDP in the elections.

Chiranjeevi to contest from Tirupati

Chiranjeevi to contest from Tirupati
http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=14875926&?vsv=TopHP7
Actor-politician Chiranjeevi would be contesting from Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati assembly seat, his Praja Rajya Party (PRP) announced on Friday while declaring the first list of candidates for the state assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

Unlike other parties, which declared their lists either in Delhi or Hyderabad, he chose Jaggampet in coastal Andhra Pradesh's East Godavari district to announce the candidates for 100 assembly and nine Lok Sabha seats.

Chiru, as he is popularly known, declared the list at 9.27 a.m., the auspicious time set by his astrologers, after prayers and rituals on Telugu New Year's Day Ugadi.

Stars cast a spell on Andhra election scene

The party's senior leader Hariram Joagaiah announced that Chiranjeevi would contest from the temple town of Tirupati, but it was not clear if he would also contest from two other constituencies in Andhra and Telangana regions like Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder and legendary actor N T Rama Rao.

He had earlier hinted that he might also contest from a constituency in his native West Godavari district in coastal Andhra and a third one in Nalgonda district in Telangana region.

Tirupati, where the famous Lord Venkateshwara temple is located, is considered auspicious by the politicians and NTR had contested from there after launching the TDP in 1982.


Chiranjeevi, 54, who floated the PRP in August last year, will face B Karunakar Reddy of the ruling Congress party and Sankar Reddy of the main opposition TDP.

The Congress' M Venkatramana was elected from this seat in the 2004 elections but this time the party has fielded Karunakar Reddy, a close aide of Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and former chairman of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), which runs the affairs of Tirumala temple.

Chiranjeevi declared that his brothers, actors Pavan Kalyan and Naga Babu, would not contest but his brother-in-law and party general secretary Allu Aravind would be a candidate.

He told reporters that the tickets were distributed in line with the party's philosophy of social justice. The list of 100 assembly candidates includes 48 from the backward classes, 13 from Scheduled Castes and 27 candidates from other castes.



He said the party would come out with the second list by Friday evening. He had already announced that the party would field 100 candidates from backward classes for the 294-member state assembly.

Prominent in the first list of nine for the 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state is former minister T Devender Goud, who will contest from the newly-created Malkangiri constituency.



Goud had quit the TDP last year to float the Nava Telangana Party to fight for separate statehood to Telangana region but recently merged his party with the PRP.

The party has fielded Fatima Begum from the Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency, a stronghold of Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen.

The other Lok Sabha candidates are M Naga Rao (Adilabad-ST), V Rajender (Karimnagar), Shivakumar Lingayat (Zaheerabad), D T Nayak (Mahabubnagar), Rajmouli (Warangal-SC), M P Simhachalam (Araku-ST) and V Kalyani (Srikakulam).

PR looking for a perfect caste equation?

PR looking for a perfect caste equation?
http://www.hindu.com/2009/03/26/stories/2009032660730800.htm
HYDERABAD: Notwithstanding expressions of confidence from senior leaders that the Praja Rajyam would sweep the polls, the think tank in the fledgling party is busy working out caste equations, a factor that it expects to give them an edge in over 100 seats.

Till late on Wednesday evening, the party’s political brains were busy putting together firm numbers. Internal analyses of the party based on surveys, a top source said, included good performance in 25 of the 34 seats in the North coastal districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam and 25 of the 34 constituencies in East and West Godavari. Also, the surveys, using different mechanisms, have given it 25 each in Telangana and Rayalaseema.

Having done the groundwork to achieve a minimum of 100 seats, the party is going forward with focus on fielding more candidates from the BCs, scheduled castes and tribes and minorities too, giving it that much more results. A leader said they were trying to have at least one Muslim from every district too.
Game plan

Enquiries with senior leaders revealed that they had a clear game plan of securing the maximum number of seats in the five districts of coastal Andhra, keeping the demographic profile of the region in mind. Guidelines being followed wherever possible include pitting a candidate from the backward classes to fight the opposition if it fielded a ‘Kamma’ or a ‘Reddy’ and use the sway that ‘Rajus’ and ‘Kapus’ held in these districts to the best advantage of the Praja Rajyam.

As the first list of the TDP was announced, there was a flurry of unobtrusive activity. Party chief K. Chiranjeevi, general secretary Allu Aravind and Yuva Rajyam president Pawan Kalyan began holding parleys with leaders for fine-tuning the list of candidates. Mr. Chiranjeevi is scheduled to fly on Thursday morning on his tour of East Godavari district.

PR rejects rebel leaders

PR rejects rebel leaders
http://www.deccanchronicle.com/neutral/pr-rejects-rebel-leaders-001
Causing disappointment to several aspirants and sitting MLAs in the Congress and the Telugu Desam, who were denied tickets for the elections, the Praja Rajyam chief, Chiranjeevi, on Tuesday made it clear that he would not give Assembly tickets to new entrants into his party henceforth.
“We will not accommodate newcomers in the party’s candidates’ list for the ensuing polls. If we allot tickets to new entrants from other parties, leaders, who have been with the party since its inception, will be deprived. So, we have decided not to give tickets to those leaders, who join the party henceforth, whether it is Congress minister Mr G. Surya Rao or somebody else,” he said.
He said that the PR’s first list of candidates and manifesto would be released on Wednesday.
Former MP from the BJP and veteran actor, Mr U.V. Krishnam Raju, on Tuesday joined the PR in the presence of Chiranjeevi. Mr Raju is likely to be fielded from the Narsapur LS seat.
Speaking on this occasion, the PR chief welcomed Mr Raju, who hails from his village, Mogalturu, in West Godavari district, to the party.
“In fact, Mr Raju was my role model during my college days. After watching his movies, I decided to become an actor like him and succeeded in due course,” Chiranjeevi said.
When asked whether Mr Raju would take initiative to forge an alliance between the PR and the BJP, he said, “My joining indicates this. Moreover, I support the BJP
at the national level.”
He added that he would explain the reasons later. Surprisingly, even Chiranjeevi spoke on similar lines. “We are not against the BJP.
We are only saying that our party is secular.”

Praja Rajyam demands YSR's resignation
http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/004200903230951.htm
Hyderabad (PTI): Demanding resignation of Andhra chief minister for "failing" to give backward classes their due, Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi on Sunday accused Y S Rajasekhara Reddy of betraying the BC by allotting a meagre 66 assembly seats to them for the ensuing elections.

Addressing a press conference at PRP headquarters here, Chiranjeevi said, "I am surprised by the number of seats the Congress allotted to the BCs. It only proved that the ruling party's tall talk on social justice was a farce."

Reminding the chief minister of the unanimous resolution passed in the assembly in support of 33 per cent reservation for BCs, he wondered why the Congress failed to implement it.

Chiranjeevi announced that his party would give more than 100 assembly seats (one-third) to the BCs.

"We will strictly go by our philosophy of social justice while announcing our candidates for the electoral battle," he said.

He said that the party would announce its first list of candidates in the next 48 hours.

The PRP chief said he was under "tremendous pressure" to contest from a constituency in his native West Godavari district apart from his first choice of Tirupati.

He said if rules permit, he will contesting from Nalgonda.

Admitting that securing a common election symbol was a difficult task, the PRP chief said they were optimistic of a favourable response from the Supreme Court.

Asked if there was a likelihood of PRP resuming talks with TRS with reports doing rounds that the latter might pull out of the Grand Alliance, Chiranjeevi said the time for talks was already over.

PR will give over 100 seats to BCs: Chiru

PR will give over 100 seats to BCs: Chiru http://www.hindu.com/2009/03/23/stories/2009032360650400.htm

HYDERABAD: Praja Rajyam president K. Chiranjeevi has said that by giving party tickets to only 66 candidates from the backward classes, Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy stood exposed.
At a press conference on Sunday, he said after crying hoarse that the list of candidates prepared by the Congress would truly reflect the party’s sincerity towards implementing social justice, people expected him to ensure that at least 100 seats were allotted to the BCs.
However, the Congress ended up giving 138 seats to the forward classes, including 87 to those from one single community (Reddys), he said, reminding the Chief Minister of the unanimous resolution passed in the Assembly in August 2008 that all parties must give one-third of the tickets to the BCs.
“The Praja Rajyam will not go back on its promise of ensuring social justice, by giving over 100 seats to the BCs,” Mr. Chiranjeevi reiterated, demanding that Dr. Reddy should quit office for not keeping his word.
Referring to the large turnout at party’s rallies in Tirupati, Rajahmundry and at the Parade Grounds here on Saturday, he said it was proof of the party’s popularity across all three regions. “There is a silent revolution happening and the day is not far, when people will vote for change and for social justice,” he said.
No time for talks
He shook his head in response to a query whether Praja Rajyam would ally with the TRS, with reports of the latter likely to break away from the Grand Alliance. “The time for talks is over. Members of the alliance want the world to know they are united, but fact is, they have their individual agenda.”
Common symbol
Asked about the search for a common symbol, Mr. Chiranjeevi said he was prepared to wait till the last minute for it. “We have furnished proof of our large membership and we are hopeful of justice being done by the EC. Otherwise too, we have our alternate plans,” he said.

HYDERABAD: Blaming chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy of betraying BCs by allocating a mere 66 seats in the ensuing elections, PRP chief Chiranjeevi announced that his party would give more than 100 Assembly seats (one-third) to BCs.
The PRP chief minced no words in stating that the claim of Congress party on social justice was a farce and reiterated that his party would announce candidates in line with the party's philosophy of social justice.
Addressing a press conference on Sunday to thank the general public and party workers for responding to his short-notice call for the public meeting, the PRP chief lashed out at the Congress for giving 138 seats to forward classes, especially 89 to one community. He reminded the chief minister of the unanimous resolution passed in the Assembly in support of 33% seats to BCs. "I demand the resignation of chief minister for failing to give due representation to BCs in Congress. I am surprised at the number of seats given to BCs by the Congress. We feel proud that our loud cry for social justice has forced Congress to take cognizance of BCs in the party", he said.
Chiranjeevi claimed that a silent revolution was underway and Saturday's meeting was a glimpse of the larger things that would be unveiled once Prajarajyam comes to power. He said the party would come out with the first list of candidates in the next 48 hours and assured to give due representation to all sections of the society.
The PRP chief said he was under tremendous pressure to contest from a constituency in West Godavari, apart from his first choice of Tirupati. He admitted that he was keen on contesting the Nalgonda assembly constituency, provided there was a provision to contest from three places.
To a query on the likelihood of resuming talks with the TRS, the PRP chief said that the time for talks was already over. "All members in the Grand Alliance want the world to know that they are united, but the fact is that each of them is pursuing their individual agenda. I am not surprised at the talk of TRS walking out of the Grand Alliance. But, let me tell you that this is one way of staying in news and keeping others confused," he said.
Admitting that securing a common election symbol was a daunting task, he said the party was optimistic of a favourable response from the Supreme Court. "We are doing our best. All we are asking for is a symbol that can easily be identified by the voter. However, an alternative plan is also in place," he said.

The chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu are best friends in corruption. They are incomparable in the corruption.

Chiru alleges Cong-TDP nexus on graft

HYDERABAD: Alleging ‘match-fixing’ between Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Opposition leader N. Chandrababu Naidu, Praja Rajyam president K. Chiranjeevi on Saturday said they were only hoodwinking people to keep power between themselves.

Addressing a mammoth ‘Praja Vijaya Bheri’ rally at the Parade Grounds here, he said the two leaders who were criticising each other all day, became good friends by night. “And the only thing they have in common was ‘corruption’, although of different magnitudes. After all, they are from the same school (Congress),” he said. Mr. Chiranjeevi launched a scathing attack on Dr. Reddy and Mr. Naidu for suppressing reports of several commissions of inquiry ordered during their respective regimes. Mr. Naidu, in fact, went ahead to gift Dr. Reddy a power plant for withdrawing cases against him in court.

He launched a scathing attack on the Congress and the Telugu Desam for ‘neglecting’ the backward classes in allotment of party tickets. I will give the BCs more than 100 tickets. he said.

PRP promises monthly family food package scheme at Rs 200

Chiranjeevi, Praja Rajyam Party
PRP promises monthly family food package scheme at Rs 200
http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/004200903181632.htm
Hyderabad (PTI): Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi's Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) has come up with yet another populist food package scheme promising a gas cylinder and grocery items for Rs 200 a month to woo voters ahead of the elections due next month in Andhra Pradesh.

This is the PRP's most important promise to the people which will ensure food security, PRP official spokesman Parakala Prabhakar told a press conference here on Wednesday.

Under the scheme, cooking gas would be supplied at Rs 100 per cylinder and grocery items for another Rs 100, which should be sufficient for a poor family for a month, Mr. Prabhakar said.

He, however, did not give any details of grocery items. This would be the first scheme that the PRP would be implementing if voted into power.

"Our scheme is by far the best. It is even better than the cash transfer scheme promised by the principal opposition Telugu Desam Party and other schemes being implemented by the Congress government," the PRP spokesman claimed.

He alleged that both the state and Central governments had failed to curb food inflation that threatened food security of the common people. The Rs 200 food package scheme would negate the impact of inflation and fill the stomachs of the poor, Mr. Prabhakar added.

The PRP also promised an industrial policy that would generate employment. "Our philosophy, slogan and policy is work for all hands and food for all stomachs. We shall encourage industrial growth in a big way so as to generate more jobs," he said.

The PRP in its election manifesto promised to create 10 lakh jobs in 1000 days, both in private and public sectors.

Meanwhile, Mr. Prabhakar wanted the Election Commission to immediately weed out about "30 lakh bogus voters" from the electoral rolls.

"We submitted documentary evidence related to 70,000 bogus voters. In fact, the state has over 30 lakh bogus voters and all of them have to be removed from the rolls to ensure a free and fair election," he said.

The PRP would take appropriate action if the EC did not remove the bogus voters from the list by March 23, he added.

TD, Congress united in graft, says Chiru

Chiranjeevi Praja Rajyam party
TD, Congress united in graft, says Chiru
http://www.deccanchronicle.com/neutral/td%2C-congress-united-graft%2C-says-chiru-480
March 21: Praja Rajyam chief Chiranjeevi on Saturday said the Chief Minister, Mr Y.S. Raja-
sekhar Reddy, and the Telugu Desam chief, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, had a “tacit understanding” in corruption.
Addressing a huge gathering at the Praja Vijayabheri to kick off the Praja Rajyam campaign here, Chiranjeevi said the party would order a probe into the “ill-gotten wealth” of Mr Reddy and Mr Naidu after coming to power. He asked for a vote to end corruption.
“Though both these leaders are political rivals and criticise each other, they are good friends as far as corruption is concerned,” Chiranjeevi told cheering crowds at the Parade Grounds. “They act as if they are rivals only to distract the people.”
There was “match-fixing” between the Chief Minister and the Opposition leader in corruption, he said. That is why Dr Reddy had withdrawn a suit against Mr Naidu’s alleged corruption in the High Court.
He said though Dr Reddy had ordered several inquiry commissions into corruption during the Naidu regime, the government did not take any action.
Most of the audience comprised youth. Hundreds of people wore Chiranjeevi masks while others carried placards with the “change” slogan.
Chiranjeevi said the PR would allot more than 100 seats to candidates from the Backward Castes to show its commitment over social justice. “Neither Dr Reddy nor Mr Naidu allotted a single seat to BCs in their native districts in 2004,” he said.
The Congress had nominated 86 candidates from one caste for the ensuing Assembly polls, but had given tickets to only 66 candidates from the BCs.
Chiranjeevi promised free LPG connections for the poor, gas refills at Rs 100 and provisions for Rs 100.
Earlier, Chiranjeevi’s actor-brothers Nagendra Babu and Pavan Kalyan addressed the gathering. Babu compared Chiranjeevi to Mahatma Gandhi and said the PR chief was fully committed for the welfare of the downtrodden.
Taking a dig at Mr Naidu’s poll promise of colour TVs, Pavan Kalyan said, “Who will give the cable connection and power to those TVs? Naidu has promised free power only to agricultural sector. What about power to TVs?”

Chiru confident of victory

Chiranjeevi at the 'samajika shankharavam' meeting at Rajahmundry on March 10, 2009
Chiru confident of victory, takes credit for social justice plank
Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi said that the social justice agenda of all parties is because of his party. All other parties are using the poor as the vote bank and doing nothing once they grab power, he added.
The ruling Congress party and the main opposition TDP are equally corrupt, he said. He quoted the classic case of Satyam fraud how the state politicians used the Satyam money and sent Ramalinga Raju behind bars.
Chiru also made light of Naidu's criticism that Chiru do not differentiate between a draft and manifesto. Chiru attacked the opportunist schemes of Naidu just to grab power. He said that Naidu's vision 2020 turned into television 2009 for the sake of power.
