PR cadre in despair over political future
The Praja Rajyam leaders and activists are in despair over their political future, following the decision to merge their party with the Congress.Second-rung leaders of major political parties such as the Telugu Desam and the Congress joined the PR with a hope that they would emerge as formidable challengers to other parties in the state.
The PR president, Mr K. Chiranjeevi’s sudden merger move has created confusion among the party workers. PR leaders who are vexed with internal rivalries, are apprehensive about their future in the Congress as several senior leaders dominate this party and cadre in the district.The PR district president, Mr Masoolu Srinivas, the state secretary, Mr Kadapala Srikanth Reddy and another leader, Mr T.J. Prakash, are planning to unite under the leadership of Chiranjeevi by continuing in the Congress.
But some leaders are seeking the Congress senior legislator, Mr J.C. Diwakar Reddy’s support. Mr Srinivas said that PR cadre would not join in any other group in the district as the Congress high command has assured that it will give importance to PR cadre even in villages, and Mr Chiranjeevi has also promised that he would do justice to those who stood by the party in tough times.Meanwhile, the PR activists are expecting posts in the Congress, presuming that a strong community in the district will join the new political party to be floated by the former MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, and the Congress will unavoidably depend on PR cadre. Some others are contemplating to return to their previous political parties.
