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

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).
