Chiranjeevi to join BJP’s anti-drug campaign in Hyderabad from November 25; Kishan Reddy invites megastar

Chiranjeevi accepted the invitation and will join the initiative aimed at mobilising young people and citizens against drug addiction, according to Kishan Reddy.

Sharing details of the meeting on social media, the Union Minister said Chiranjeevi's participation would help encourage Hyderabad's youth and the wider public to unite in the fight against substance abuse.

The campaign seeks to promote a drug-free Hyderabad, Telangana and India through public participation, awareness programmes and community mobilisation.

Kishan Reddy has been coordinating preparations for the three-day padayatra, including meetings with women's organisations and members of the Pravasi community to encourage wider participation.

The initiative is aligned with the Union Government's Nasha Mukt Bharat campaign and its broader objective of combating drug abuse through awareness, prevention and community involvement.

Kishan Reddy has also reiterated the commitment to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision and Union Home Minister Amit Shah's resolve to make India drug-free by December 31, 2029.

Chiranjeevi's participation is expected to bring greater public attention to the campaign, particularly among young people, given his popularity and influence across the Telugu-speaking states.

The three-day Hyderabad campaign will seek to build public awareness about the dangers of drug addiction while encouraging citizens to take an active role in creating drug-free communities.
