Chiranjeevi’s next campaign after Telangana would be in Rayalaseema. He will start his campaign in Anantapur district on November 12 followed by Kadapa, Chittoor and Kurnool districts. However, Chiru is successfully completing his Telangana yatra today.
Before that Mega Fans are getting unofficial information as official by giving different name. We have heard Swayam Krushi and Jai Chiranjeeva etc. now the latest name in is Praja Rajyam Party. According to reports reaching 'Praja Rajyam Party' is the name that is almost finalized.
The actor, who announced his entry into politics August 17, will declare the agenda of his 'pro-poor' party, which may alter the political equations in the southern state ahead of the March 2009 assembly elections.
It will be a one-man show at Avilal Cheruvu or Avilala lake bed ground. Chiranjeevi alone will occupy the dais during the massive show of strength planned in true filmi style. Congress MP Hariram Jogaiah, who has joined Chianjeevi's party, said the actor would be the only speaker.
Jogaiah and also leaders of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), who have joined the actor's party in the past one week, besides Chiranjeevi's brother-in-law and chief advisor Allu Arvind, brothers and actors Naga Babu and Pawan Kalyan will sit among the audience.
The decks were cleared for the meet Aug 21 when the Supreme Court refused to stop the event on a petition by a local NGO, which argued that the event on lake bed would harm the environment.
As many as 23 special trains, hundreds of private and state-owned buses will ferry Chiranjeevi fans from different parts of the state. A majority of the people are expected from coastal Andhra, the actor's home region.
As many as 5,000 Telugu NRIs from different countries, mainly the US, are expected to attend the meet. A group of NRIs are already touring parts of the state to mobilise public support for the actor.
chiranjeevi, who turned 53 on Friday, choose August 26, the birth anniversary of Mother Teresa, to launch his political party.
At his first news conference, the actor said he was inspired by Mother Teresa and declared that he too was dedicating his life to serve the poor.
After a 30-year career in films, Chiru, as the actor is popularly known, donned a new role like matinee idol NT Rama Rao, who changed the course of Andhra politics by coming to power within nine months of launching TDP in 1982.
Chiru, one of the highest paid actors in India and whose fan following is compared to NTR's, is engaged in social services like running blood and eye camps. In another gesture, he enrolled a physically challenged youth as the first member of the party.
Elaborate arrangements have been made for the meeting, which will begin after Chiranjeevi pays obeisance at the Lord Venkateshwara temple on Tirumala Hills. The three-hour meeting is set to begin at 4 pm.
Adding filmi touch to the mega event, the organisers have hired two helicopters. A chopper will shower flower petals on the venue, while another will record the event, beaming it across 70 huge LCD screens deployed around the area.
Over 3,000 policemen have been deployed at the venue besides an equal number of volunteers of the Chiru Rashtra Yuvatha (youth wing).
In his speech, Chiru is expected to explain the reasons for taking a plunge into politics, his mission and goals, and announce the policies and programmes of the party.
After the public meeting, Chiru will form core committee of the party and launch state-wide tour to mobilise public support for the party.
There are two names in considerations for the party, after going thorugh the dozen names-
1. Swayam Krishi
2.Mega people's Party.
Still Chiru camp is keeping the party name secret. Nagbabu is likely to register one of these names with Election Commission.
Now the latest we hear is that Nandini and Pawan have come to an understanding of compromise. Nandini demanded Rs 8 Crs to withdraw all the cases filed on Pawan and finally agreed for Rs5 Crs. And Pawan has paid Rs 5 crs. Now Nandini will file compromise petition in the court.
It is the great relief and right for Mega family on the wake of Megastar launching his political party. Otherwise opposition parties would have used Pawan and NANDINI CASE AS THEIR POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
Jagan is also coming up with English daily named 'The Guardian' very soon.
It is learnt that NTR is now insisting on a storyline with political touch. In this backdrop, some fresh assistant directors and writers were introduced to the hero for story sittings. Like his earlier film ‘Samba’, NTR wants to do a message-oriented film and at the same time, the film should have some satires on the present government. It is learnt that NT Rama Rao is planning to launch campaign for the Telugu Desam through his next film. The producer is making efforts to launch the regular shooting of the film at any cost in August.
Amidst speculation that film star Mahesh Babu may be ‘prompted’ to talk politics either directly or indirectly, his father and veteran actor G S Krishna met Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy at his camp office here on Sunday and expressed his willingness to campaign for the Congress in the next general election.The meeting assumes significance not only because of the rumours doing the rounds regarding Mahesh but also due to fact that ‘Super Star’ Krishna is a wellknown supporter of the Congress.
It’s but natural for the ruling Congress to want to have its share of ‘cine glamour’ given the imminent political entry of Mega Star Chiranjeevi and support lent to the TDP by the family members of the late NT Rama Rao, including N Harikrishna, Balakrishna and Junior NTR. While Harikrishna is already playing an active role in the TDP, the other two are expected to campaign for the party in the future.
And, fuelling the speculation further was none other than Krishna himself. Speaking to newsmen, he said they were planning to campaign for the Congress in the next general election. When asked about roping in Mahesh Babu, he merely said: ‘‘Mahesh is still young and in his 30s.’’ But Krishna was quick to clarify that Rajasekhara Reddy was his old friend and he was elected to the Lok Sabha from Eluru in 1989. ‘‘I used to meet him occasionally. There is nothing new in today’s meeting,’’ he added.
IS CONGRESS countering the Chiranjeevi’s entry into the politics by indirectly encouraging Mahesh Babu, a delightful hero of youth? Yesteryears Telugu film hero, Krishna, with his Hollywood style in Telugu films attracted crowds in his younger days. Is he thinking of joining politics? Enough reason for him to celebrate his son, Mahesh Babu’s birthday in a big way.
His fans are making elaborate arrangements for his birthday which falls on August 9. According to his fans an awareness programme is also being organised to motivate people for the elections. Some suspect that though Mahesh Babu may not enter politics directly as he is still in his early thirties, but he will play an important role during the election campaign.
Mahesh’s image is more or less like that of Chiranjeevi. And is much more popular than his actor brothers, Nagababu, Pavan Kalyan also his actor nephew, Allu Arjun. The veteran actor, Krishna, fought against the great NT Rama Rao’s Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and was elected to Lok Sabha from Eluru. One can’t underestimate the impact of Krishna, despite his age.
Mahesh Babu’s style is very different and he seems to be innocent and rarely talks to anybody. His successful films have been remade in Tamil.
Minister Mareppa’s remarks against Chiranjeevi came in sharp criticism. Megastar’s fans condemned the remarks made by Minister for Marketing. Yesterday, Mareepa, in usual style, accused Chiranjeevi of selling blood through Blood Bank and also said that Chiru has never done any thing for public.
