Jana Sena chief and actor Pawan Kalyan has reached Puttaparthi airport on Tuesday morning to launch his Rythu Bharosa Yatra. 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 chose Anantapur as it 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.
As part of the yatra, Pawan Kalyan will cover Kothacheruvu, Dharmavaram, Gottur, Anantapur rural mandal, Pulakunta and Manneela and console the bereaved families. According to the Jana Sena, as many as 353 tenant farmers had died in Kurnool, 173 in Anantapur and as many as 85 in East Godavari district. Pawan Kalyan has announced a financial assistance of Rs 5 crore to the tenant farmers’ families.
This is be the first yatra that Pawan Kalyan has undertaken after he launched his party ahead of the 2014 elections. With elections just two years away, the Jana Sena has upped its ante. It has now decided to go on hyper active mode. The Power Star has decided to undertake a massive yatra across the state from April 12.
The thinking heads of Jana Sena feel that by raising the issue of farm distress and farmers suicides, Pawan Kalyan would be able to rally round the rural masses behind the Jana Sena. The party feels that the yatra would also energise the party cadres and sympathisers across Rayalaseema.
