Why chiru is so particular about Srikakulam???

Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi has deliberately decided to kick off his tour from Srikakulam, rather than Telangana, raising many eyebrows.

His earlier tours were only to Telangana areas – twice to Siricilla and once to Jadcherla. Hitherto, he spoke mostly about Telangana issues like weavers' suicides, Special Economic Zones and farmers' issues. He participated in Ramzan festivities in Hyderabad and hosted Iftar partiesin Ranga Reddy district. His brother Pawan Kalyan, too, toured parts of Telangana including Hyderabad. Naturally, people expected that Chiranjeevi is wooing the Telanganites and that he might kick off his tour from Ranga Reddy district, which brought a lot of luck for Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy during his 2003 padayatra.

However, Chiru cleverly chose Srikakulam, which is equally backward district in coastal Andhra. He has received reports that his over-reaction on Telangana issues is causing a heartburn among the backward areas of Andhra. Hence, he needs to pamper them. Hence the trip and he hopes to allay apprehensions of the coastal Andhra people.

Secondly, if he starts his tour in Telangana, he needs to expose his stand on separate State issue, which he does not want to do now. His tour from Srikakulam would give him some breather to formulate his strategy on Telangana and he can explain it by the time his tour enters the Telangana region!
