She spent 188 days to cover 2500 kilo meters starting from Idupulapaya in Kadapa District on 18th October 2012. She called it ‘Maro Prasthanam’ means ‘Another journey’ as previously YSR made it before Congress Party dethroned TDP. Her plan is to make it 3000 kilo meters covering 23 districts of the State.
