Chiranjeevi launches 'Praja Rail Yatra'

Chiranjeevi launches 'Praja Rail Yatra'

Hyderabad: Actor turned politician Chiranjeevi, on Saturday, launched a three-day 'Praja Rail Yatra' with the objective of popularising his Praja Rajyam Party's (PRP) 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.

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.

Party president Chiranjeevi and his brother Pawan Kalyan will travel in the train upto Kazipet. Over the next three days, the PRP chief's son Ram
Charan Teja and his brother-in-law Allu Aravind's son, Allu Arjun, and others from the film industry will join the 'Yatra'. They will interact with people at different stations where the train stops.

The train left Secunderabad on Saturday and is scheduled to return at 11 a.m. on April 14. It will touch Kazipet, Warangal, Khammam, Vijayawada,
Eluru, Tadepalligudem, Nidadavolu, Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, Rajahmundry, Vijayawada, Guntur, Chirala, Ongole, Nellore, Gudur and Renigunta. At
every place, programmes have been arranged and leaders and stars will interact with the locals.

However, the party has landed in fresh trouble after a spate of resignations came from some senior party leaders. Party general secretary and spokesman Prakala Prabhakar quit the party, making serious allegations against the top leadership.

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.

Chiranjeevi - the leader on the net!

‘Searching’ for the right leader

Whether or not they make it to the top post, some of our politicians are definitely making it to the top of the popularity charts on the internet. According to Google India, the ‘most searched politicians on Google in India include the following (in alphabetical order):

• Chiranjeevi
• LK Advani
• Manmohan Singh
• Mayawati
• Narendra Modi
• Rahul Gandhi
• Sanjay Dutt
• Shashi Tharoor
• Sonia Gandhi
• Varun Gandhi

The list is not surprising, given that most of these politicians (or aspiring politicians) have been in the news and are likely to play a key role on the post-poll scenario. While some like Advani, Mayawati, Manmohan Singh, the Gandhi family and Narendra Modi are always in the limelight and public glare, others like Sanjay Dutt and Varun Gandhi have been in the news recently, or have ensured that they be in the news!

While Dutt dominated the headlines for a couple of days after he was barred from contesting elections by the Supreme Court - squashing the Samajwadi Party's dreams of riding on the star's popularity, Varun Gandhi has been on the front page of every newspaper ever since he decided to let his thoughts and words run loose in Pilibhit on 8 March.

It is only natural that Chiranjeevi, being a Telugu super star, would attract immense attention and curiosity before his maiden Lok Sabha journey. The name might be a wee bit surprising is Shashi Tharoor, former Indian diplomat and writer, who was the official candidate of India for the office of United Nations Secretary-General in 2006. Tharoor, who is the Congress candidate for the key Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha seat in Kerala, represents what is known as this "new breed of politicians" - defined by their urbane, educated and professional outlook... adjectives that perhaps best describe the bulk of internet users and hence, those who might search for their favourite politician on Google.

Tharoor in the ten most searched politicians? Not so surprising anymore.

So what does this list sent out by Google tell us. That the estimated 50 million net users in the country, bulk of whom belong to the younger age groups, are using search engines to look for those politicians we would expect them to.

A word of caution for these politicians though: Do not mistake such statistics to be a measure of your popularity or a sign of things to come. As predictable as the Indian electorate might have been online, its unpredictability behind the voting machine is well-known.

He drew crowds when he went to villages in his Prachara Ratham and now mega star Chiranjeevi plans to woo voters by campaigning in the Praja Railu. Chiranjeevi kickstarted the last leg of their campaign by flagging off a train at the Secundarabad Railway station on Saturday morning.

Chiranjeevi, who flagged off the train with his brother, Pavan Kalyan, said the train, his party symbol, symbolises the party policy of social justice as it carried all sections of people. The last leg of the campaign assumes significance considering the negative publicity the party got following the resignation of party spokesperson, Parakala Prabhakar, two days ago.

The future course of action

The future course of action

At the grass root level: After having successful covered a major part of the state, Chiranjeevi will now move to the Karimnagar district where the concentration would be on collecting information about each village and also the problems that are faced over there.

The party has deputed a Praja Sevakulu (worker) to undertake this task. V Rajendra Rao, a convenor of the party, says that Chiranjeevi will write letters to each individual in the village and urge them to get involved in the campaign.
