I am blessed to see so many coming for me to Tirumala Tirupati...
My life is fulfilled.. I have seen so many functions with lakhs of my fans but this is unique. Crores of people blessing me keeping me in heart is really impressive.
This land is blessing me to go ahead with my services. I feel like the entire Andhra Pradesh is in Tirupati. This feels like the voice of Telugu is here. Voice and feelings of Telugu is here at the feet of Lord Venkateswara seeking good change, betterment of life.
People recognized me for 30 decades;keeping me on the top chair; always supporting youth; handicapped people who are wishing me success from their heart; farmers; small scale workers; and all segments of people; representatives of deprived who are wishing me success; for the media who are communicating this live; to the police who are giving us security all the time; and Govt officers: I thank you and welcome you all.
My mother is among those lakhs of people down there. My mom always told me to support the family and look for job. I went to Chennai and took up the profession of artist. I won your heart and you brought me here to where I am today. I heard people saying Enough of the entertainment.. now come among us and do good to the society. My parents supported me for 22 years but you are supporting me for last 30 years. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I will dedicate the rest of the life to you all. This invitation from you to serve you is an opportunity to serve you all. My life is blessed now.
I can do any thing for you as long as I have your support and god's blessings for the same.
I have enough wealth and have satisfaction of social service. But I still feel somewhere that I can do better and at that right time I heard your voice and I thank you all for making me realize that.
If my father was alive, he would have been very happy. he has been constant support and inspiration for social service. His blessings will be always with me.
It is an historic event that today also happens to be the birthday of Mother Theresa. And party launch happening today is a blessing.
I bow my head to Mother Theresa, Gandhi, Ambedkar, Phule.
Chiranjeevi knows the struggle, woes, pains and tears of people. To those who think Chiranjeevi is only glamour and what does he know about struggle of common man.. .I have only one word.. they only know one side of the coin... And I never made an effort to explain the other side.
Before that I want to say a personal thing to my fans. I want my fans to prove that they are very disciplined. He requests the people on his left hand side to get down from the barricade.
