Hyderabad: Buragadda Vedavyas, Congress MLA from Malleswaram constituency in Krishna district is all set to join the Prajarajyam party led by Chiranjeevi.While Vedavyas made this announcement in the district, PRP sources confirmed the same over here. He apart from being a sitting MLA is also a known Kapu leader from the coastal area.


Vedavyas will be submitting his resignation to the assembly speaker K R Suresh Reddy on Wednesday and will join the party on February 5, in the presence of party president Chiranjeevi. Vedavyas will be the second MLA from the Congress party to join the PRP from the district. Recently, Vangaviti Radhakraishna, who represents Vijayawada East constituency joined the party.Vedavyas has lost his constituency in the process of delimitation.


According to sources, he was interested in the Machilipatnam constituency which is being represented by the Congress leader Perni Venkata Ramaiah (Nani). Vedavyas wanted to contest from this constituency but is learnt to have been told by Congress leaders that it was difficult to accommodate him from Machlipatnam Constituency. Another reason for his decision to join PRP was the presence of strong Kapu community in the district on whom PRP is banking heavily.


PRP wants to make the joining of Vedavyas a big affair. He will be given party membership in the presence of Chiranjeevi. Another MLA, K Parthasarathi is also expected to join the PRP. His father, former TDP MP from Machlipatnam, K Reddaiah Yadav has already joined the PRP.




NTP may contest under PRP symbol


TIMES NEWS NETWORK


Hyderabad: The Nava Telangana party led by T Devender Goud has decided to make its first move towards possible merger with Prajarajyam Party. The party has decided to take shelter under the PRP umbrella and contest the polls on the symbol of PRP.


In an informal chat with newsmen on Tuesday, Goud said that his party and PRP had forged an alliance and felt that that it would be advantageous to contest the elections on a common symbol.


This would help the NTP more he said as they can hold joint campaigns and can reduce the confusion among voters if they have one common symbol. Both NTP and PRP are registered parties. Once it qualifies to be known as a recognised party by the EC, it can be allotted an election symbol. He recalled a precedent when in 1983 Sanjay Vichar Manch led by Maneka Gandhi fought election in the state with the support of TDP using its poll symbol -Cycle.


PRP is trying to get a common election symbol for the party candidates during the 2009 elections. But if it fails in its attempt then the two registered parties will have to choose from the 59 free symbols, Goud said.

Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi was disappointed with the arrangements for his Praja Ankita yatra on Tuesday. Citing poor public response at Madhavanagar, Dharmaram and Dichpally mandal headquarters he did not address the gathering. He was embarrassed by the poor turnout at Puppalapalli, Madanpally, Amrad route road show in Jakranpally and Makloor mandals.


The PR chief reportedly scolded the leaders who were responsible for these shows.


Disappointed over not being able to see Chiranjeevi, his fans burnt party flags and staged a rasta roko on the Nizamabad –Hyderabad road. Chiranjeevi halted for the night at Madhavnagar village on the outskirts of Nizamabad and resumed his yatra in the afternoon.


The PR president passed through Dichpally, Puppalapally, Madanpally, Amrad, Manikbhandar and Makloor. In the evening he resumed his yatra and was happy with the good turnout at Nandipet mandal headquarters.
