Kalyan in Vizag

Day2 - “It isn’t colour TV s and cable connections that people require but the purchasing power to buy them and to pay for cable connections,” said Yuva Rajyam president Pavan Kalyan addressing a public meeting at Annavaram village of Chodavaram Assembly constituency on Thursday.
He tried to impress upon the people that only Praja Rajyam could provide a solution to their long-pending problems that were neglected by both the Congress and Telugu Desam Governments during the last six decades after Independence. Had the Congress and TDP implemented their poll promises, there wouldn’t have been any necessity for Chiranjeevi to float a new party.

Day1 - Notwithstanding the inordinate delay in the arrival of film star and Yuva Rajyam president Pavan Kalyan, scores of people, mostly fisher folk, waited in the hot sun to see and hear him address a public meeting near the Fishing Harbour on Wednesday.

Pavan Kalyan impressed on the need for a change to reduce the present inequalities among the people. The change could be achieved only when the downtrodden sections were given political powerReferring to the Telugu Desam Party, he said its founder N.T. Rama Rao had floated that party with the slogan “Telugu vari atma gauravam” (self-respect of the Telugu people). NTR’ s successors had reduced that ideal to mean ‘self-respect of only a few dominant castes’. The objective of PRP was social justice through empowerment of the poor and lower middle classes. In an obvious reference to the TDP’ s poll promise, he said people should be empowered to stand on their own feet but not reduced to the level of seeking alms. He described Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy as a ‘feudalist’ who was interested only in welfare of his party men and charged him with ignoring the interests of the common man.
