Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi launched his party `Praja Rajyam` in true cinematic style before a huge gathering of his fans and supporters and pledged to work for change and social justice and root out political corruption in Andhra Pradesh. He made the much-awaited announcement in this temple town in filmy style after a long speech and a short dialogue session with the assembled gathering. Soon after, he hoisted the party`s green and white flag with a red sun in the middle and a short song and sequence came on the giant screen behind him on the dais which the few lakh audience lapped it up enormously. The 53-year-old matinee idol and son of a police constable outlined his party`s vision in various sectors and also unveiled the party flag — green and white with the sun in the middle - amidst rapturous applause from the huge gathering. In his more than hour-long speech, the megastar, however, skirted thorny issues like naxalism and categorisation of Scheduled Castes, saying a `collective decision` would be taken on these matters after `scientific evaluation`.
