Madhu, a Telugu NRI and megafan from Bristol, drew the attention of Dr. Mitra, Chiru's political advisor, at the NRI conclave held Monday night at Novotel, Hyderabad. The fan tried to give a pictorial description of rural poverty in Andhra Pradesh. "I was returning to Hyderabad from Karimnagar after participating in the rally organized by fans there. By the road side, I saw a 70-year-old man rearing a flock of sheep. He was running after them on rocks and thorns. I felt very bad. I felt like weeping. What's this? Why should an old man rear sheep and cattle? I want to change this. I believe only Chiru can bring change that I want." Dr. Mitra assured him that a scientific study would be launched as how the old people could be helped in all aspects of health, food and decent living, particularly in the rural areas.
