The Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi is planning to revamp the party in the wake of loopholes identified during the run-up to the 2009 elections in the state. Chiranjeevi received many suggestions from the party candidates who contested for the Lok Sabha and Assembly seats apart from leaders from different districts during his closed door meetings with them after the polls.
The major complaints pertained to delay in getting the election symbol, lack of awareness about the symbol, lack of effective political organisation at the village and district levels, communication gap at the party headquarters, lack of response from party leaders on urgent matters at the grassroot level among others.
The actor reportedly assured candidates that he would reorganise the party soon with permanent committees at all levels and sought cooperation of all the party leaders and workers.Chiranjeevi told party Lok Sabha, Assembly candidates and senior party leaders to call him directly in case of an emergency.
He made it clear that he has no plans to hold the MP and MLA candidates in a camp after the counting on May 16 in order to keep his flock together.
Sources told this newspaper that the actor told party candidates from different districts that he gave them tickets in good faith and expected them to be loyal to the party in defeat or victory.
“I have no plans to hold camps like others. I have faith in you and trust you. You have done exceptionally well with the available resources in the elections. You can call me any time for any help you require. In case, I am busy, I will get back to you. I have a winning team and we are winning,” he remarked.
When a candidate said the party could have done much better if more funds were pumped in, he denied the same. “Money will only ensure publicity, but it will not fetch votes. You require credibility,” he said.
Hitting out at those trying to malign him and his party by alleging that they were collecting money from candidates, the PRP chief said he gave tickets to youth and upcoming leaders keeping in mind the party’s campaign for change.
