Former union minister and MP of Rajyasabha, Megastar Chiranjeevi participated in 'Signature Campaign' of the Congress party seeking special status to AP. Apart from Chiranjeevi, senior leaders of the Congress party such as Raghuveera Reddy, Pallamraju, JD Seelam and others offered special prayers at the Pushkar Ghat of Rajahmundry and launched the signature campaign.
" They said Telugu Athmagouravam is being mortgaged in Delhi. But what the TDP government is doing right now? The BJP has made several promises for new AP. They assured special status to AP and the launch of many colleges and other firms. But none of their promises has been fulfilled. Chandrababu Naidu has done nothing for the past eight months. He couldn't even bring special status to Andhra Pradesh, though, it is our right. He wants to befriend with BJP and so he fails to question the union government. This is the time for the people to fight for special status and funds for AP," said Chiranjeevi addressing to the gathering. Chiranjeevi's Rajahmundry and Polavaram tour was attended by huge number of mega fans. Analysts feel that Congress party gets revival with the signature campaign in the AP.
