Praja Rajyam Party gains some, lose some

Praja Rajyam Party leadership might have been in high spirits with the joining of two Telugu Desam MLAs – Kala Venkat Rao and Kambala Jogulu and is expecting to get stronger in north coastal Andhra, but their entry has also led to strong dissidence within the party.

Sources say PRP’s gain of leaders also amounts to loss of cadres in north coastal Andhra. This was evident form the exit of Jhansi, daughter of freedom fighter Goutu Latchanna. She resigned from the party, alleging that there was no social justice in the party as being claimed by party president Chiranjeevi. Jhansi, a strong BC leader and wife of former IAS officer R Ramakrishnaih and sister of TD MLA Goutu Shyama Sundara Sivaji, joined the PRP with high hopes. She wanted to contest from Visakhapatnam, but she was confined to Vizianagaram. Finally, she called it quits and chose a non-existent Lok Satta to mark her career.

The entry of Kala Venkat Rao is also not being taken kindly by Srikakulam MLC Gorla Haribabu Naidu. In fact, he played a major role in establishing PRP in the district, much before former TD minister Tammineni Sitaram joined. He is now sidelined by Tammineni, who got top position in the party. Now that Kala Venkat Rao also entered the scene and is all set to get to the top, Haribabu Naidu is frustrated. He did not attend Kala’s joining ceremony. He is likely to jump into the Telugu Desam.

Similarly in Visakhapatnam, the second-rung PRP cadres are not taking it kindly the influence being wielded by former TD MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao, who ensured that all the district committees are filled with his own people. Because of Ganta’s overaction, several PRP workers are planning to get back either into the Congress or TD.

The exit of BC leader V G R Naragoni also has led to several BC leaders deserting the PRP in north coastal Andhra. None of Naragoni’s followers could find a place in the district committees in Visakhapatnam, while prominent businessmen got the top slots. As a result, several important leaders are planning to call it quits to the PRP.
