Actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi called upon the people to teach a fitting lesson for corrupt political parties. “This is the right time to teach them a lesson. They have been misleading you for decades,” Chiranjeevi said at a roadshow at Mayuri junction on seeing a large number of youth and women on either side of the road.

Chiranjeevi arrived here two-and-a half hours late on Sunday from Srikakulam district as part of the second leg of his Praja Ankitha Yatra. The Vidyalanagar wore a festive look with all the roads leading to the actor’s roadshows. A large number of people turned up to catch a glimpse of Chiranjeevi atop his Praja Ankitha Ratham.

Chiranjeevi regretted that successive governments completely neglected public welfare. “I entered politics leaving the cinema industry to end corruption at all levels. I am not interested to counter the allegations leveled by other political parties. If you support the Praja Rajyam, I promise that we can resolve problems you have been facing for decades by removing imbalances in the society,” Chiranjeevi said.

The actor called upon youngsters and women to use their vote to defeat selfish and evil rulers of the past and the present at the right time by supporting his endeavour for a “change” in the political arena. His private security had a very tough time to control the swelling crowds as the local leaders, political sympathisers and fans began competing with each other to dominate others in showing their strength. Later, he proceeded to Gajapathinagaram.
