Tirupati, Aug. 26: Chiranjeevi tried hard to woo the middle class while announcing is new party, Praja Rajyam, but it did not appear enough to bedazzle the crowd. The actor spoke for close to 90 minutes, much of the time extempore. Observers said the extempore part of his speech was better. Though he attempted to give the feeling that he was ready to talk on key issues, he concluded his elaborate speech by dwelling on them briefly.

The actor failed to present his action plan or clear the air on major issues. He put more emphasis on sentiment than taking the core issues head-on. To woo women voters, he narrated at length his love for his mother. He also spoke of his poor background. While talking of special economic zones, he objected to what the government has been doing. This was the only occasion when Chiranjeevi stepped out of his “no criticism” rule. His deliberations on education and health failed to get much appreciation.

He continued to shy away from burning issues like separate Telangana and tried to harp on his oft repeated theme of corruption but in the process insulted the poor, they said.

Talking to ‘TOI’ TDP deputy leader Y Ramakrishnudu said Chiranjeevi could not even explain the significance of the colours in the flag. Read the rest of this entry »

1. Overpriced phone - The price of Rs. 31000 for 8 GB and Rs. 36100 for 16 GB models is not satisfactory and into budget of everyone. It is approx. $800 and $900 respectively, which is 4 times the same in U.S. Do airtel and vodafone realize that most of the services in iPhone are locked and that gadget would not sell easily in that high price.
