Praja Rajyam chief Chiranjeevi will wind up his Praja Ankita Yatra two days ahead of schedule because of a hoarse throat and fatigue. The roadshow has apparently proved to be too much for the megastar and party sources said he would fly back to Hyderabad on Thursday morning.

Chiranjeevi launched his mass contact programme on October 9 at Srikakulam after completing his road shows in that district as well as Vizianagaram, he was to tour Visakhapatnam district from October 14 to October 17. And on the last day he was supposed to heli-hop to Paderu and Araku Valley and talk to the media on October 17 before boarding the last flight to Hyderabad. But the Agency visits were cancelled. However, Chiranjeevi was still supposed to address meetings in four assembly segments in the city on that day.

However, doctors who examined the actor on Tuesday adviced him to call off the yatra as he was showing symptoms of fatigue and sickness. But Chiranjeevi refused to heed their words and continued with his tour on Wednesday. "In the afternoon, doctors found that his vocal chords were overstrained because of continuous speeches," said a party leader. "Then we decided to cancel the remaining programmes." Chiranjeevi was slated to catch the last flight to Hyderabad on Tuesday but because of heavy traffic jam in Makavarapalem, he could not make it to the airport on time and the flight left without him at 8 pm. Party sources said his next trip to Visakhapatnam would be finalised after the dates of East and West Godavari programmes are announced.
