PR yatra may be postponed

BY J.R.PRASAD

Hyderabad, Sept. 24: Mr Sambasiva Rao, who joined the Prajya Rajyam from the Mahajan Party, became the latest to join the ranks of sulking leaders in the actor’s party. Mr Rao has decided to keep himself away from PR activities, though he has not resigned. Mr Rao and some Mahajan Party leaders had pledged support to Chiranjeevi much before Praja Rajyam. He told this correspondent that he was opposed to the merger of the Mahajan Party and the PR.

Though the sulking leaders are not really high profile, observers feel that these developments may affect future political migrations into the PR. The woes of leaders who joined the PR continued. On Wednesday, Ms P. Karuna, daughter of the veteran CPI(M) leader Mallu Swarajyam, who joined the PR a few days ago, was denied entry into the party central office. She was allowed in only when her followers tried to gatecrash into office.

Meanwhile, the launch of Chiranjeevi’s tour is getting delayed because of his indecisiveness on issues like Telangana statehood, categorisation of SCs and SEZs. “We will appoint committees to examine the issues like Telangana in two days,” Chiranjeevi said on Wednesday.
