Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh is meeting Praja Rajyam Chiranjeevi in Hyderabad on September 7. Film star Amitabh Bachchan mediated to bring about the meeting of Mr Amar Singh with Mr Chiranjeevi.
The development could mean holding back Praja Rajyam in the secular front. The meeting assumes significance, as it could dash all hopes of the BJP for possible electoral tieup with the Praja Rajyam in Andhra Pradesh.
The BJP was banking on Telugu mega star Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam for a possible tieup, after TDP opted for a tieup with the Left parties. If the TRS also joins the Grand Alliance, then the BJP could be isolated in Andhra Pradesh.
Ms Jaya Prada and Ms Jaya Bachchan would be accompanying Mr Amar Singh during his meeting with Mr Chiranjeevi.
Mr Amar Singh said, "The Samajwadi Party is open for a tieup with Praja Rajayam. If Mr Chiranjeevi approves of it, then it can be formalised." In fact, Mr Amar Singh said that Ms Jaya Prada and Ms Jaya Bachchan would campaign for the Praja Rajyam in Andhra Pradesh.
Mr Amar SIngh said he has kept TDP supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu informed of the development. However, Mr Chandrababu Naidu had not extended a similar courtesy, when he decided to join hands with BSP supremo and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati. Mr Naidu had even dubbed the SP as opportunistic.
BJP Andhra Pradesh incharge Prakash Javadekar said that the BJP is not looking at electoral tieups. right now.
There is a considerable political churning taking place in Andhra Pradesh. The BJP is going ahead with the exercise of holding its internal meetings, to assess the political situation, identify candidates for the seats where it has reasonable chance and chalking out its electoral strategy.
