Actor and Rajya Sabha member Chiranjeevi visited Perupalem (south) village in Mogalthuru mandal in West Godavari district on Monday. At a meeting there, he stated that he would develop Perupalem, a village on the sea coast, into a model village and make it a tourist hub.
At a public meeting, Chiranjeevi stated that development should be beyond party lines and he would work hard to develop the village in all aspects. He added that as a result of unavoidable circumstances, he could not visit the village earlier.
He was quoted saying at the gathering that he was born there. "I have a lot of love and affection for this area. It has forced me to adopt Perupalem (south) village for development. It is just a beginning. I will develop this coastal area of Mogalturu mandal as a tourist hub and the development works will be taken up uninterruptedly," he said.
PM Modi had asked people to adopt villages and Chiranjeevi had come forward to adopt his native place. Perupalem village, construction of a Primary Health Centre, Junior College and provision of basic infrastructure to the schools will be taken up after consulting the Ministers concerned, he stated.
Former MLAs Kothapalli Subbaraudu, Kothapalli Janakiram, Narsapur Agriculture Marketing Committee Chairman Rayudu Sriramulu, TDP leader Bandaru Patel Naidu and Peripalem sarpanch Melam Soma Satya Ranganadh were also part of the event.
