VISAKHAPATNAM: The nascent Praja Rajyam has a rival off-shoot. Those not happy with the official nominees announced by the PR got together and floated a party ‘Jai Chiranjeeva’, borrowing the title of a film of the actor.
The party aims to bring all the PR rebels together. In many of the 15 Assembly constituencies in the district, official PR nominees are facing rebels.
Gandham Nandagopal, who unsuccessfully aspired for the Anakapalle Lok Sabha seat from the PR, announced the forming of the party at Narsipatnam. Goragani Srinivasa Rao, who was denied the Narsipatnam Assembly seat and filed his papers as a rebel, was present.
Much before the announcement of nominees, he held a press conference criticising the manner in which PR functioned and particularly targeted general secretary Allu Aravind and party district (rural and urban) convener Ganta Srinivasa Rao.
