Praja Rajyam protest against corruption

Chiranjeevi roadshow in Krishna likely in 10 days Staff Reporter

VIJAYAWADA: Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi’s road show in Krishna district is expected to take place in 10 to 15 days from now. He will start his tour at Nagayalanka near Machilipatnam and conclude here after touching Avanigadda and scores of towns on National Highway-9 popularly known as Bandar Road.

Announcing this at a press conference here, PRP district spokespersons Yanamala Murali Krishna, Muthamsetti Rajendra Prasad and Tatineni Sriram said their president’s road show would bring a new lease of life to the party cadres in the entire district. They asserted that a wave of support from all segments of people would generate in the coming days.

The PRP leaders said that the controversy arising out of Kesineni Srinivas (Nani) would not have any impact on the PRP prospects. They took strong objection to Nani’s statement that without him, there was no Praja Rajyam Party in Krishna district. They pointed out that it was Chiranjeevi’s charisma that was the big asset for the PRP rather than any other leaders like Nani.

After the exit of Nani, the PRP is in a hunt for an equally or more capable leader to head the party urban unit as convener

VISAKHAPATNAM: The Praja Rajyam Party organised a demonstration near the Gandhi statue opposite the main office of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) on Tuesday in protest against the alleged rampant corruption in the GVMC and the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and corporators allegedly taking large sums of money as their cut in the funds being spent by the GVMC.

The party mobilised a large number of its workers and supporters for the demonstration.

It displayed 72 suitcases, indicating the corruption of the corporators, made some of its members don the roles of Mayor and others and “donated” money into the “Mayor’s account” box.

Convenor of the urban and rural units of the party Ganta Srinivasa Rao said the party was organising anti-corruption week to protest the corruption in the GVMC, Revenue and other departments.

Both the Congress and Telugu Desam were hand in glove and the Mayor and Deputy Mayor were collecting money on behalf of the Corporators, he alleged.

Earlier a rally was held from the party’s office in MVP Colony to the Gandhi statue.
