VISAKHAPATNAM: Thigh -slapping and twirling of moustaches can wait till the election results, declared TD brand ambassador NTR Jr.
He was responding to the clamour that he do as Chiranjeevi and uncle Balakrishna have been doing on the stump.
Instead, he asked his audience to work seriously and earnestly for the party’s victory, and only then would all those triumphal gestures be justified.
As the roadshow wended its way along the rural areas of the district, the 26-year-old voiced confidence that the TDP would win in the coming polls.
The alternative, he feared, would be grim. If voted to power, the Congress could well hike the price of rice to Rs 100 a kg, he warned.
Addressing a mammoth crowd at Chodavaram in the district, the TDP’s trump card said that whereas Andhra Pradesh once used to be called “Annapoorna’’ Pradesh, after the Congress’ stint in government it had acquired the dubious tag of ``Avineeti’’ Pradesh, he added.
Before coming into the power, the Congress had promised an agrarian transformation.
The fact that the price of rice was now around Rs 30 and climbing testified to the state of affairs, he said, and drew a frightening scenario of the price increasing three-fold if the party returned to power.
Modulating his voice to great effect, the khaki-clad hero appealed to the people to vote TDP.
Braving scorching heat, enthusiastic crowds jammed every nook and corner all along the route.
Accompanying NTR Jr were Kona Tata Rao and actor Rajiv Kanakala.
