Chiranjeevi is considered to be the first political leader of AP to have raised the demand of Polavaram project's national status, and fought for it. Ever since the launch of PRP in 2008, he has been protesting for the special status of Polavaram. Finally, the AP reorganization bill, which meant for the merger of 211 villages from seven Mandals of Telangana has been passed both in lower and upper houses of the parliament.
Obviously, the beneficiaries of Polavaram project cannot forget some of the golden moments, which associated with Chiranjeevi's agitation for Polavaram project. Chiranjeevi rode the horse during his Polavaram Yatra at Payakarao Peta in the month of May, 2010.
