| Vedavyas may contest from Machilipatnam Assembly seat |
Candidate belonging to SC or BC may become convenor
Followers of Vedavyas in upbeat mood
VIJAYAWADA: In the wake of Kesineni Srinivas (Nani)’s controversial exit, the Praja Rajyam Party has initiated efforts as part of a damage control exercise to revamp its organisation in both urban and district units.
Going by sources in the party, it is almost certain that district convener Muthamsetti Vijaya Nirmala will resign to the post in tune with the recommendation made by the disciplinary committee. The reason for her being asked to step down is not exactly known, but the party leaders say that the top leadership wants to remove any scope for others to accuse them of promoting a particular caste. The new district convener will most probably be an SC or a BC. If the party leadership chooses an SC, the chances are in favour of G.V. Prasada Rao hailing from Nandigama area.
A retired deputy commissioner of commercial taxes, Mr. Prasada Rao is a strong aspirant for the PRP ticket from Nandigama Assembly constituency reserved for the SCs.
The PRP is also considering Yanamala Murali Krishna, a BC, for the district convener’s post. The party leadership is still undecided on the issue of filling the vacant post of urban convener after the ‘dismissal’ of Mr. Nani.
In view of the dust raised by him, the PRP is keen to avoid any further controversy arising out of new appointments. It is looking for non-controversial leaders who can take along with them party leaders and activists from all sections of society.
Meanwhile, the followers of Malleswaram MLA Buragadda Vedavyas, who joined the PRP from the Congress on Thursday, are in an upbeat mood. His entry has boosted the morale of the party . Mr. Vedavyas is expected to choose Machilipatnam Assembly segment for his electoral aspirations, as Malleswaram segment.
