Chiranjeevi arrives in Vizag to a warm welcome by tribals
MUNCHINGPUT (VISAKHAPATNAM DT.): Tribals mobbed Praja Rajyam president K. Chiranjeevi at anthrax-hit Barda village, in Laxmipuram panchayat, in this mandal, about 190 km from Visakhapatnam, on Wednesday.
The actor-politician — who arrived at Munchingput by helicopter and later drove to Barda to interact with the patients — was accorded a rousing reception by the tribals. They thronged the nondescript village, located on the Andhra-Orissa border, and raised slogans in his support, ignoring his pleas. Several youth addressed him as ‘kaboye mukhyamantri’ (would-be Chief Minister).
Chiru’s concern
Mr. Chiranjeevi expressed concern over the plight of tribals and blamed the ruling party for failing to educate them and provide medicare. “It’s unfortunate that tribals are dying like flies due to malaria, viral fever and other infections,” he bemoaned.
In an oblique reference to holidaying by Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N. Chandrababu Naidu, he said, “It is not the time to relax when tribals are dying due to various diseases.”
Mr. Chiranjeevi, who was scheduled to fly back to Hyderabad, could not go due to inclement weather. Heavy rain lashed the agency belt making it difficult to fly. Tribal women applied turmeric on his forehead and offered garlands.
Earlier, he visited Lobburu primary health centre and interacted with medical officer G. Janardhanam.
