Irked by the criticism levelled by other parties that Praja Rajyam was founded and run by an actor, party spokespersons Kotagiri Vidyadhara Rao and C. Ramachandraiah on Tuesday dared the Telugu Desam Party president N. Chandrababu Naidu to launch a party of his own without people from the film industry.
At a press conference, the two PR leaders reminded Mr. Naidu that he had also joined a party founded by the late NTR, an actor himself. They wondered why the TDP chief was busy wooing the entire Nandamuri clan, including actors Balakrishna, Harikrishna, Taraka Rama Rao and others to rally behind him. Mr. Rao reminded the TDP president how as a Congressman he had proclaimed that he would contest against his father-in-law but took a ‘U’ turn and joined the TDP. They wondered why Mr. Naidu held actors in such ‘low esteem’, when he himself was wooing tinsel town personalities to campaign for the TDP.
Meanwhile, at an informal interaction with media, PR president K. Chiranjeevi dropped enough hints to suggest that the party was ‘open’ to alliances as also to welcoming leaders from other parties who were interested in joining the PR for its ‘social justice’ agenda.
