The competition for Assembly tickets within the Praja Rajyam was intense. The merger compounded the woes the aspirants.

Speaking to The Hindu, Puli Sarangapani, a retired academic who held key-position in the NTP, agreed that there was intense competition for tickets. However, both the parties welcomed the merger. Mr. Sarangapani said the problem of dissidence would be less in Praja Rajyam compared to the established political parties. “A majority of aspirants are new to politics. Even if they sulk, they cannot harm the chances of the official candidates,” he contended.
