Praja Rajyam first list by March 10: Chiranjeevi

Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi on Monday said that the first list of the contesting candidates of his party in the ensuing election would be announced by March 10.Speaking to media persons at Achampet town in the district, he said there was no confusion about the selection of candidates.He said in fact he wanted to make public the first list on March 1 or 2 itself, but due to some unavoidable circumstances it was getting delayed.He brushed aside the news that only his relatives and family members have a say in deciding candidates to be fielded in the election.

“We are following all democratic norms in selecting the candidates. We have asked the district conveners of our party to submit the list of candidates who were aspiring to contest the elections from their respective constituencies and subsequently they will be short listed,” he said.Mr. Chiranjeevi said there was a chance to appeal to the Chief Election Commission once again on the issue of common symbol to his party in coming elections.Mr. Chiranjeevi said his government would pass resolutions in the State Assembly on creation of Telangana State and categorisation of SCs in the event of his party coming to power.
MRPS row

He said the Y.S.Rajasekhara Reddy government should take the responsibility for the present agitation undertaken by MRPS.This government had created hopes among the Madiga community on categorisation but deceived them.The PR chief said his party would ensure categorisation of SCs as a part of social justice.Referring to the comments of CPI (M) State secretary B.V.Raghavalu that if Mr. Chiranjeevi was serious about defeating the Congress, he should join the Mahakutami, the actor-turned politician said asking him to join the Mahakutami proved that they were weak.
Fourth frontHe said efforts were on with regard to formation of fourth front.

Asked to comment on the statement of BJP leader M.Venkaiah Naidu, who recently said that fourth front was nothing but an utopian thought, Mr. Chiranjeevi said that Mr. Naidu might have felt that more fronts in the fray would weaken their chances of winning.“There is nothing wrong in forming a fourth front when efforts are on for forming a third front why not fourth front,” he asked.Referring to the wordy duel between Telugu Mahila president Roja and Mahila Rajyam president Shobarani he found fault with both.Mr. Chiranjeevi said that he had already admonished Ms. Shobarani for her unwarranted personal comments. But he said Ms. Roja also indulged in character assassination.He said though she made personnel attack on his family members they did not seek an apology. “If Ms. Roja apologises, Ms. Shobarani also will apologise.”
