Chiranjeevi sees PRP as a major in national politcis

HYDERABAD: Prajarajyam president K Chiranjeevi claimed his party would emerge as a major force in national politics after May 16. Speaking to the media on Monday, the PRP chief reiterated that the party would win more than half of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state and secure nothing less than 160 seats in the Assembly. He said Prajarajyam party has been in talks with other parties only at the secondary level and the real scenario would emerge only after the results. Chiranjeevi said the party would hold talks at the top-level only after the numbers are revealed. "We are certain of PRP’s importance at the national level. We will take up all necessary steps once the results are out. If we get the required numbers, we start negotiations with like-minded parties who are keen on forming the fourth front," he said. To a query on whether he was a contender for the post of prime minister, he mumbled and said he would speak once the numbers are out on May 16. "Everything depends on the number of seats we win. The issue is too premature for discussion. We will take it up when the results are announced," he added. Lashing out at TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao for extending support to NDA, he asked the TDP chief to clarify on the `maha kutami’s’ stance on the step taken by KCR. "I have already stated that the so-called grand alliance is a `maya kutami’. Their single-point agenda is to come to power at any cost," he said. He asked grand alliance members to clarify on the latest political drama unfolded by the TRS. "The TDP has already worked with the NDA and the TRS wants to work with NDA, while the Left parties are still keen to support the UPA to keep the BJP-led coalition away from power. The alliance members must clarify on this political mess," he said. Referring to increasing cases of gastroenteritis and cholera in the state, he demanded imposition of health emergency in the state and take up remedial measures on a war footing. Earlier in the day, Chiranjeevi held a two-hour interaction with Mahilarajyam members and sought their feedback to strengthen the party at the grassroots level. He promised all disciplined women workers that due recognition would be given to them by accommodating them in various nominated posts, including the Legislative Council.
