PRP founder-president Chiranjeevi’s Praja Ankita Yatra, which ended in Telangana today, received overwhelming response in the Dornakal Assembly constituency which is represented by Tribal Welfare Minister DS Redya Naik. The PRP leaders are happy that youth and women, in large numbers, attended Chiranjeevi’s road shows in the Banjara-dominated constituency.The Dornakal constituency has its own significance. Redya Naik has won five times consecutively from the constituency which is a General seat. Neither the TDP nor the TRS has any influence on the people in the segment.Chiranjeevi participated in road shows at Kuravi and Maripeda where women gave a rousing welcome to him, all along. PRP observer Siddharthat Goud said they had apprehensions over the turnout as the road show was scheduled for the afternoon. ``We wondered if people would leave their work in the middle and come on to the roads. But, in contrast to our fears, there was a huge turnout wherever Chiranjeevi went,’’ he said.Chiranjeevi said special prayers at Kuravi Veerabhadra Swamy temple. Later, he participated in a road show at Maripeda bungalow.After covering 450 km in the district, he proceeded to Khammam in the evening.Except at Narsampet, where people threw eggs at him, the megastar encountered no hostile reception anywhere in the district. Not only in Hanamkonda and Warangal, he held road shows till late in the night even in forest areas like Pasra Govindraopet and Tadwai.

Like Obama, I will make history in AP: Chiranjeevi
Actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi has claimed that the vote for change that marked the outcome of the US presidential elections will be repeated in Andhra Pradesh assembly elections scheduled early next year.
Chiranjeevi, whose campaign is focussed on change and social justice, told gatherings during his roadshow in Khammam district that the people in the state were "disillusioned" with successive governments and were yearning for change and ushering in a new political culture.
"Like Americans, who created history by voting overwhelmingly in favour of change and social justice, our people will repeat the same message," the actor said on the concluding day of his second leg of mass contact programme covering Karimnagar, Warangal and Khammamcts in Telangana region.
Like Barack Obama who mesmerised Americans with his promise of change, the matinee idol of Telugu cinema has been emphasising that he will herald a change.
"I have no personal agenda. The people's agenda is my agenda. The people want change, a change that will lead to a positive political culture and improvement in their living standard", he said.

Chiranjeevi faces hostile reception in Warangal
For the first time after his foray into politics, Chiranjeevi on Tuesday faced hostile reception at a village near Warangal when eggs were thrown at him but the actor-turned-politician was unfazed.
Three persons, said to be activists of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), were detained by police for allegedly hurling eggs at the megastar at Narsampet during his road show in the Telangana districts of Andhra Pradesh.
Chiranjeevi asserted that he was unfazed by the incident and nothing can deter him from moving on his path.
"I thank those who have thrown eggs. Incidents like this will not affect me. I will keep moving," he said. Chiranjeevi has been conducting road shows in the Telangana region since October 30 drawing huge crowds.
Though the Praja Rajyam Party founder said his party would support any move by the Centre for creation of Telangana state, the TRS, heading the statehood cause, has been insisting that he should give more clarity on his stand.
At some places during his tour, TRS activists waving their party flags tried to stop the actor's convoy.
Chiranjeevi has covered Karimnagar and Warangal districts and would move on to Khammam district, where the tour would conclude with a public meeting at Bhadrachalam.
