The rebellion in the Praja Rajyam intensified on Friday with the party’s women’s wing chief attacking the party, and disgruntled leaders forming their own outfits.
Ms Sobha Rani, Mahila Rajyam president, said the allotment of tickets lacked rationality. The PR leadership was not implementing its self-professed social justice formula in allotting tickets, she said after the Vemuru (SC) seat she was aspiring for was given to Mr Katti Padma Rao, writer and dalit activist.
The activist and Vijayawada-based physician, Dr G. Samaram, who conducted meetings with social groups before the party was launched, disapproved of the role of Chiranjeevi’s brother-in-law, Mr Allu Aravind, in allotting tickets.
A senior leader, Mr K.S.R. Murthy, is said to be unhappy as he was denied a ticket from Amalapuram Lok Sabha. The spokespersons, Ms Vasireddy Padma and Mr G. Sridhar, are contemplating quitting the party as they did not get tickets from Nandigama Assembly and Warangal Lok Sabha seats.
The former MLA, Mr Masala Eranna, decided to continue fast unto death in front of the party office despite his ill health. Mr M. Sudarshan, brother of the former minister, Mr M. Mareppa, is also on fast.
In Visakha-patnam, the fans and rebels have formed Jai Chiran-jeeva to take on official candidates. Angry fans in Warangal are planning to float the Telangana Praja Rajyam along with rebels.
