Chiru to tour Telangana

HYDERABAD:

With his vocal chords getting a much-needed rest as he is ‘cooling off’ from the heat of the North Coastal Andhra tour, Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi is getting ready for a tour of Telangana.

His campaign managers are chalking out options for him to tour Nalgonda, Khammam and Warangal, in that order. Initially, he appeared keen on taking nine to ten days each, to cover three districts each in Andhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana districts, on his ‘Praja Ankitha Yatra’.

However, after Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts left him exposed to the heat and dust and affected his voice, the party Core Committee did not wish to take any chances. Instead, it is toying with different options.

Chiranjeevi may start phase II of his yatra on October 24. While it is almost a certainty that he will tour Nalgonda next, the party managers are looking at alternatives.

There is plan ‘A’ of covering Nalgonda, Khammam and Warangal, in a whirlwind manner, taking six days in all. The plan ‘B’envisages two days for each district and back to Hyderabad for a break.

Pavan hoists flag

It may be recalled that Mr. Pavan Kalyan spent two days covering 14 Assembly constituencies in and around the State capital and hoisted the party’s flag in all those places.
