Chiranjeevi's Andhra Pradesh tour begins next week

HYDERABAD: Actor turned politician Chiranjeevi will embark on the first leg of his Andhra Pradesh tour in the first week of October, starting from the remote Srikakulam district.
 
The Praja Rajyam Party will launch the week long Oroora Praja Rajyam (Praja Rajyam in every town) a massive mass contact programme on October 2.
 
The first week s programme will usher in a green revolution wherein our party workers will plant one crore saplings across the state, Chiranjeevi announced at a press conference here on Sunday.
 
The mass contact programme being launched by Praja Rajyam would not be a routine political show but be a social awareness campaign, he said. Praja Rajyam Party s membership enrolment drive would also be taken up simultaneously.
 
Chiranjeevi would cover Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts in the north coastal Andhra region in the first leg of his tour. He would tour three Telangana districts in the second leg and later cover a couple of districts in Rayalaseema region by the end of October.
 
We have formed an ad hoc committee to oversee the tour arrangements. We are working on the logistics to cover 50 km a day. I am very eager to go and meet the people, Chiranjeevi said.
 
After having launched his party on August 26, Chiranjeevi visited Siricilla in Karimnagar district last week to interact with families of weavers. He later went to Polepalli in Mahbubnagar district to express solidarity with farmers whose land had been taken away by the government for setting up a special economic zone.
