The Praja Rajyam is heading towards a serious intra-party conflict with a section of leaders pushing the party towards a tie-up with the Telugu Desam for the GHMC elections.
The Prajya Rajyam’s former TD ministers, Mr Devender Goud and Mr K. Vidyadhara Rao, who lost the elections, are pushing for the alliance with the Mahakutami, which now does not have the TRS.
Mr Rao told the media there is nothing wrong in coming to an electoral understanding with the TD in order to prevent a Congress monopoly in the city.
When journalists when reminded him about the policy of by the PR chief, Mr K. Chiranjeevi, of opposing both the Congress and the TD, Mr Rao said there is nothing wrong in changing the policies for its survival. Mr Goud also endorsed the view.
Party MLAs are fuming over the statements. One PR legislator said, “What do the so-called seniors know? They lost the polls that is why they are talking irresponsibly.”
Asked about the proposal, Mr Chiranjeevi said no decision had been taken.
According to insiders, Mr Chiranjeevi has called a meeting of party seniors on Saturday to discuss various issues including tie-ups with other parties. The meeting is expected to be stormy and some leaders have decided to oppose any tie-up with the TDP.
Sources said that former MPs will say it is better for the party to lead an allaince of small parties like the CPI(M) and the CPI instead of playing a ‘B’ team in an alliance with the TD.
