With elections just two years away, the Jana Sena has upped its ante. It has now decided to go on hyper active mode. And leading the pack is none other than maverick film star-cum-party chief Pawan Kalyan. The Power Star has decided to undertake a massive yatra across the state from April 12.
The aim of the yatra is to meet the kin of the tenant farmers who ended their lives due to mounting financial troubles and farm distress. Pawan Kalyan will launch the yatra from Anantapur, which has seen maximum tenant farmer deaths.
He would meet 32 families of deceased tenant farmers and would donate Rs 1 lakh each to the families. Pawan Kalyan has announced a financial assistance of Rs 5 crore to the tenant farmers' families.
Addressing party workers meeting at Mangalagiri on Tuesday, Pawan Kalyan said that as many as 1857 farmers have committed suicide after the YSRCP took over reins of power.
He said that as many as 353 tenant farmers had died in Kurnool, 173 in Anantapur and as many as 85 in East Godavari district. He said that the faulty policies of YS Jagan were responsible for these deaths.
This would be the first yatra that Pawan Kalyan is likely to undertake after he launched his party ahead of the 2014 elections. He would be covering the families of the farmers who committed suicide and console the family members during the yatra.
