My first party meeting - Rail yatra

Kiran garu took me to a conference room around 6 P.M. It is the only dedicated conference room at office. It can hardly fit 20 people, but it is maintained well and clean. I noticed that that room also serves as overflow room for the people waiting in Lobby. Dr. JP went somewhere else and so crowd left too by evening.

There I met Gangadhar garu, another great peronality. He was the person who worked hard for organizing Patan Cheruvu primaries. The meeting was about planning for Lok Satta rail yatra. They were sitting on the idea for last three days. Gangadhar garu was proposing Dr. JP and others should not reserve bogey and buy general tickets and mingle with people. Kiran garu was proposing that we should reserve a bogey for health and also security reasons. I sided with Kiran garu and that irked Gangadhar garu. He himself communicated to me later when we became friends. I should kept quiet in that first meeting. Some of the goals of the trip were to cover maxinum area and many districts and have some public meeting at the end of yatra.

So Krishna express looked like the best choice.
* It goes through many districts, Warangal, Nalgonda, Krishna, Ongole, Nellore etc.
* It has tens of stops.
* Passengers are middle class people. We can book bogey but can also walk in other boxes.
* Nellore leader Sridhar garu was inviting JP for long time, and is suitable for public speech.
