Praja Rajyam says ‘NO’ to power sharing with the Telugu Desam Party

The Praja Rajyam on Friday dismissed the idea of power sharing with the Telugu Desam Party after the elections, a proposal mooted by CPI State secretary K. Narayana.

The CPI leader at a meeting in Sangareddy on Wednesday had said that after the elections, ‘sharing and rotation of power’ between the two main opposition parties like the TDP and the Praja Rajyam could be considered. Praja Rajyam spokesmen P. Mitra and Parakala Prabhakar categorically told presspersons that they had never entertained such thoughts.

“We have not even spent a minute thinking on those lines. Just to set the record straight, we do not feel such a proposal is in any way feasible,” Mr. Parakala said. On alliances, he reiterated that since its birth, Praja Rajyam had gone ahead with the confidence that it was the only alternative for progress, considering the policies of the TDP and the Congress and the way they were being implemented.
