PULIVENDULA: Barring few incidents of protests, Praja Rajyam Party chief Chiranjeevi’s road show in Pulivendula, the home turf of Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, was a grand success.
Nearly 20,000+ people accorded a warm welcome to the PRP chief. He was greeted with shouts of joy and slogans by the people, who patiently waited for the actorturned- politician, who was behind schedule by four hours. He was supposed to reach Pulivendula by 10 a.m. but arrived at around 2 p.m.
All the commercial establishments downed their shutters down and decorated their shops with PRP flags and banners to welcome their matinee idol. Chiranjeevi too, responded in a emotional way, clearly overwhelmed by the reception he got from the people. In the aftermath of yesterday’s violence in Pulivendula, wherein PRP leaders Shoba Nagi Reddy and Kotagiri Vidyadhar Rao were attacked by some unidentified miscreants, suspected to be Congress activists, and PRP leaders holding the Chief Minister responsibility for it, the Congress activists, staged dharnas wearing black badges at some places along the yatra route of the PRP chief. At some places PRP flags were also burnt by the protestors.
When one Congress supporter, identified as Kuwait Gangadhar, assaulted a PRP activists and tried to damage the party flag, he was taken into custody.
A 32-year-old youth P Venkata Narayana Reddy from Sunkesula village in Simhadripuram mandal was critically injured, after he fell off from a building terrace as result of a stampede that took place when everyone rushed to have glimpse of the megastar.
He was immediately rushed to Pulivendula Hospital and later shifted to RIMS Hospital in Kadapa.
