Praja Rajyam Party (c) founder Chiranjeevi claimed that he was wielding more popularity than the Telugu Desam Party founder NT Rama Rao.
He, however, cautioned the party activists not to bank entirely on his charisma. If anything unexpected happens in the elections, it would be the responsibility of party workers, he warned.
Addressing the meeting of seven district committees of the PRP here today, Chiranjeevi said that he had gained much popularity than NTR. “Senior leaders like P Upendra and others who witnessed NTR’s campaign in 1982 told me that the popularity I am enjoying is much more than what NTR enjoyed,’’ the actor-turned politician said. The PRP had already constituted district committees well before the elections, he said and wanted the party leaders to mingle with the people.
“You have to ensure poll victory for the PRP,’’ Chiranjeevi told the party leaders. He directed district leaders to constitute booth and village-level committees and directed the cadre to popularise the Rs 100 package and free power to artisans and farmers, the schemes so far announced by the PRP.
Launching a scathing attack on the Congress Government, Chiranjeevi said that the State went bankrupt during Rajasekhara Reddy’s regime. He directed the party leaders to highlight corruption in the Government. He expressed confidence that youth were the main strength of his party, who were thronging to his meetings in large numbers.
PRP spokesman Mitra said that they were conducting surveys in all the Assembly segments and eliciting the opinions of the public to finalise the party candidates in the next elections.
