Praja Rajyam to watch its Leaders

Congress is now into its third phase of Indiramma Sambaralu. For those who know little about these celebrations, let us tell you, the Congress during its rule has done several pro-poor activities in which one is the Gruha kalpa scheme under which they claim to have constructed lakhs of houses for the poor.

At several of these speeches, YSR has been seen becoming very emotional. He first highlights all the good things, then gives the statistics for everyone to see the facts, and finally he requests the people to compare the development programs of Congress and TDP and see for themselves what difference the Congress is making for them.

While this is on one side, we have had cases of thousands of poor people complaining during these meetings that the real beneficiaries are not getting any houses. We have had an NRI lodging a complaint regarding how a Construction company has cheated him of crores of rupees under these schemes. We have farmer suicides, farmer injustice in sale of cotton and so on.

Lot of things seem to be looking good on paper, but not all that good in reality. It is also true that while some get benefited, some will always remain outside this bracket. And, we haven't even started talking about how Lok Satta, TDP, Praja Rajyam and other parties have challenged Congress to publish white papers on the money spent. They all feel that a lot of public money is being diverted by selfish people before it is reaching the people.

It is has been seen time and again in the last four and half years that the Congress has had a lot of difficultly in being transparent in their Governance. In spite of repeated complaints from Opposition, Congress resorted only to counter-allegations but has never really accepted a challenge and acted more answerably. However, transperancy, answerablity, and performance are now becoming the need of the hour as people are becoming more and more aware. Unless Congress tries become more transparent in AP, it is running the risk of losing faith in people, in spite of its performance.

Chiru will tour Telanga in second phase of Praja Ankitha Yatra

Praja Rajyam party is likely to announce a favourable stand for statehood of Telangana in its scheduled tour of Telangana districts. Chiranjeevi will tour Karimnhagar, Warangal, Khammam, and Nalgonda district starting from October 30 for about 7 days.

Many things are likely to get clear after the tour. One, the support Chiru is going to get from these regions, two, the party stand on Telangana and three the issues faced by the people of this region on which they would like the party to focus their attention.

If Chiru's party also favours a separate Telangana, interesting possibilities of alliances can be foreseen. Many pro-Telangana parties may show interest in teaming with Praja Rajyam. With election round the corner, these developments are crucial for the future of Andhra Pradesh governance.

Praja Rajyam party terms accusations against Chiru as mediocre

The Praja Rajyam spokesperson Mr. Parkala Prabhakar spoke about the accusation levied on the party by leaders from other political parties. He termed the accusations as being mediocre.
He said people have some respect for political leaders. They consider them as dignified and diplomatic. If they go around pointing fingers at mediocre stuff like flat tyres and sore throats, they are going to fall low in the views of the people. They must act and behave more mature than that.
He made it clear that things like these are not political issues and leaders must be mature enough to make such simple distinctions for themselves.

Chiru will tour Telangana districts in the next phase of Praja Ankitha Yatra

Chiranjeevi announced during the inauguration of the second office for Praja Rajyam that he will be touring the Warangal and Karimnagar districts over a period of five days starting from October 22. He has asked his party members to make necessary arrangements for the same.

With over 35 lakh members joining the party since its inception, the party is hopeful of getting good response from this region too.

Talangana people and fans are hoping that this visit can bring the party to a consensus on the Telangana issue.
