Hyderabad, Nov 23,
2012: Sharmila, who has been undertaking Maro Praja Prasthanam Padayatra on
behalf of YSR Congress Party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, has proved,
beyond any doubt, to be a big crowd puller through the length and breadth of
her walk so far in the three districts of YSR, Anantapuram and Kurnool.
Sharmila, who began her
walkathon on Oct 18 at Idupulapaya in YSR district, walked for five and half
days in YSR district, 15 days in Anantapuram district and fourteen and a half
days in Kurnool district covering 82.5 km, 186.3 km and 196.8 km respectively.
Sharmila addressed
several public meetings, scheduled and impromptu, during the course of her
walkathon and met students, daily wage earners, famers, agricultural labourers,
members of self help groups, physically challenged persons, tribal people,
shepherds, pensioners and others in order to share their woes and instill
confidence in them in their troubles times.
She effectively
conveyed the intended message that she was doing the Padayatra on behalf of her
brother Jagan Mohan Reddy to convey his assurance that YSRCP would take steps
to usher in the Rajanna Rajyam once again once it assumes power under his
leadership.
Wherever she went in
the three districts, bigger crowds of people waited for her eagerly and people,
especially women and children, competed to see her and shake hands with her and
detail their issues to her.
Even as tens of
hundreds of people strolled along her path of Maro Praja Prasthanam in
solidarity with her, she felt at home with every group of people she interacted
with in villages, roadsides and at Rachchabandas.
The way she had introduced
to the people as Rajanna's daughter and Jagananna's sister at every important place
sent the crowds into ecstasy and jubilation which reflected the quantum of
their love and affection for the YSR family.
Sharmila’s Padayatra in
the four districts of Telangana spanning over 15 days and covering 225 km will
undoubtedly repeat the same scenes.
Will take oath at Visakha: CM
