The 1-km stretch between Sri Krishnadevaraya Junction (Leela Mahal Circle) and the busy Nalugukalla Mandapam centre in the heart of Tirupati saw crowds pouring in from evening for a joint public address of TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu and JSP chief Pawan Kalyan.
The bylanes along the road also remained packed right from 6 p.m., with an air of excitement palpable among the crowd as they waited for the duo to arrive.
The roadshow finally began an hour behind schedule, as Mr. Naidu wrapped up an engagement in Punganur. The leaders cheerfully waved to the enthusiastic crowd throughout the roadshow.
