It looked like Chiranjeevi was back to his good old days of film world, albeit briefly. The supporters present there were all pumped up and the farmer-friendly Chiru was more than willing to dance to their tunes. Except that it wasn't a scene from his films, but a a cotton field in Rupireddypalli village in this mandal — where his histrionics were in full flow on Monday.

The Prajarajyam party chief during the second leg of his Praja Ankita Yatra in Warangal district stopped at the cotton field and interacted with the farmers, much to the delight of the passers-by and some of the farmers themselves. They lustily clapped when Chiranjeevi said the farmers' problems could have easily been overcome had the governments worked with dedication, taking a dig at YSR's 'pro-ryot' mantra.

The ryots went gaga when the star politician alleged that the government was neglecting serious issues like spurious seeds, pesticides and fertilizers that have forced the farmers lose their crops in a large extent.

He alleged that though the government had announced an MSP of Rs 3,000 per quintal of cotton, the farmers are getting only Rs 2,000.

"Who is to blame? The middlemen are taking away the remaining amount and forcing the farmers into a debt trap," he hollered evoking an instant applause from the farmers. "The fertilizer supply has gone haywire as the ruling party leaders have diverted them to their followers," he alleged.

When a woman farmer, P Radha, complained that she sustained injuries in the police lathicharge when she went to get the fertilizers at Regonda mandal headquarters recently, the new 'messiah of the farmers' promised her that all her woes would vanish once the Prajarajyam party is elected to power in the 2009 general elections.

"Wait for another four months and all your problems would be wiped out," he thundered amidst cheers from the farmers.

Another farmer, Nagapuri Vijaya, urged the actor-turned-politician to come to the power and solve their problems. Responding to her demand, he said that he entered politics only to solve their problems.

As the actor's convoy sped past, Vijaya had only tears of joy. "I have interacted with the megastar and am too overwhelmed to say anything. I only hope he would do something for us," she said.

Earlier, addressing a road show meeting at Parkal, Chiranjeevi turned emotional and blamed the Congress for lacking clarity on the separate Telangana state issue."Some people are demanding me to make my stand clear on the Telangana state issue. I have clearly stated that I support the formation of the separate Telangana in tune with the aspirations of the people of the region," Chiranjeevi said, taking a dig at the Congress leaders.
