Actor Krishnam Raju joined the PR

Former Union Minister U.V. Krishnam Raju on Tuesday joined the Praja Rajyam (PR) in the presence of party president K. Chiranjeevi. “I have realised that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) cannot improve the lot of the poor and the downtrodden sections of people in Andhra Pradesh and I have decided to work with the Praja Rajyam with the firm belief that Mr. Chiranjeevi is serious about helping people and working for their welfare,” he said.

The Praja Rajyam president welcomed the former BJP leader and said: “His entry strengthens my hands and we will show the world how two people who were together in ‘reel’ life, can also join hands and work for people in ‘real’ life too.” When asked if Mr. Raju’s entry construed taking the Praja Rajyam a step closer to the BJP, Mr. Chiranjeevi said there was no ‘enmity’ per se with the BJP. “It is only that our thoughts and policies do not match perfectly.”
Release of list

Asked about when he would release the Praja Rajyam list of candidates, Mr. Chiranjeevi said he would do it on Wednesday and added that it would cover those constituencies that would be going to the polls in the first phase on April 16. On the party’s struggle for a common symbol, he reiterated that he was hopeful of getting justice and said that in the event of the party failing to get justice, it would have no option but to put their ‘Plan B’ into effect.
