Praja Rajyam president K.Chiranjeevi has said the party will set up training institutes and industries at the village level and provide employment to educated youth. Addressing a public meeting as part of the ongoing ‘Praja Ankita Yatra’ at the RTC bus stand here on Monday, he alleged that the Congress government was cheating farmers, weavers, women and youth in the State with its corrupt rule. He said only the Praja Rajyam, which was committed to serving the poor, would be able to provide a corruption-free government in the State. The Congress, which claimed to be a farmer-friendly party, was taking thousands of acres of fertile lands from farmers in the name of irrigation projects and Special Economic Zones and not even providing proper relief and rehabilitation package in any district, he alleged. “In the name of politics, many political leaders had amassed properties worth crores of rupees. If an officer earned more than Rs 200 crore through illegal means during Congress rule, you can expect how much the MLAs, Ministers and the Chief Minister would have earned,” Mr Chiranjeevi said. He said the party will strive for ‘grama swarajyam’ which will speed up rural development. The Praja Rajyam will give powers to all the gram panchayats after coming to power and decentralise the system so that the Panchayat Raj bodies can take decisions on their own for developing infrastructure in rural areas. Rampant corruption Alleging that the benefits of government schemes were not reaching the beneficiaries due to rampant corruption among political leaders, he called upon the youth to launch an agitation against corruption. He performed prayers at the Kasumuru Dargah in Venkatachalam mandal in the district and addressed public meetings at Muthukur and Nellore. Earlier, speaking to newsmen, the party’s official spokesman, P.Mitra, said that the ‘Praja Ankita Yatra’ being organised in the district was receiving good response from the public. The public meetings at Sulluripeta, Venkatagiri and Gudur on Sunday were a success, he said.
