Madhurapudi Airport (Rajahmundry): Praja Rajyam president K. Chiranjeevi has declared that his party will not sit in the Opposition benches after the Assembly elections. “The people will not allow that. We, sitting in Opposition means, insulting the people,” Mr. Chiranjeevi answered a question while speaking to media persons at the entrance of airport.
En route to Rajam in Vizianagaram district on Saturday, Mr. Chiranjeevi’s helicopter took a break here for refuelling. He also had lunch at the airport.
Answering another question, he said that the party did not want to join the grand alliance.
He said that the people want Praja Rajyam to fight alone and capture power on its own. However, the alliance with BSP is at national level and they know there is no base for BSP in the State.
The Praja Rajyam leader did not give a straight reply on whether he will join hands with BJP. He explained that, at the beginning, his party leader Mitra as a Leftist, tried to have a tie-up with CPM, but somehow that failed. “We are still ready to join hands with like-minded parties.”
Replying on continuing with welfare schemes introduced by the Congress government, the PR president said he would continue with all the welfare schemes, but not corruption in those schemes. When he was asked about funding to continue with the schemes and announcing fresh sops during electioneering, he shot back, “Did anyone think about funding when free power was announced?”
