Chiru ratham for election campaign

By U Sudhakar Reddy
The ratham that is expected to take superstar Chiranjeevi to the portals of power is being fabricated at the workshop of Real Cars in Jeedimetla.
It is an Eicher van that is metamorphosing into a prachara ratham, for Chiranjeevi, who is all set to launch a political party.
Sources in the police department said the power ratham was being spruced up with an air-conditioned room with sleeping facilities to enable the actor to travel long distances.
The fabrication work of the power ratham is almost over.
The workers of the vehicle are giving it the finishing touches. The prachara ratham for superstar Chiranjeevi will roll out in a few days.
Though the Real Cars workshop usually takes up fabrication of bullet-proof vehicles, the police source said Chiranjeevi’s prachara ratham is not likely to be fortified in that manner.
“As there is no huge threat perception to Chiranjeevi it is unlikely that he would go for a bullet-proof vehicle,” said the police officer.
“But the possibility cannot be dismissed as Real Cars usually takes up such type of work,” the senior police officer said.
As such, no permission is required for owning a bullet proof car as the home department is yet to come out with clear guidelines on this.
The Legislative Council member, Mr Kasani Gnaneswar, and the media baron, Mr Ramoji Rao, have made their cars bullet proof.
Though the superstar of Tollywood does not face any major threats, the Intelligence Security Wing is not taking any chances and has provided personal security officers to him.
