TIRUPATI: There is finally the official word about PR founder and Tirupati MLA-elect, Chiranjeevi’s visit to his constituency. Chiru’s maiden visit to Tirupati after his election from the prestigious Tirupati seat is officially announced on Monday by the State leader of the party, Tammineni Seetharam.

As per the itinerary finalised for his two-day visit to the temple city, Chiranjeevi would be arriving here on May 28. He would use the occasion to familiarise himself with the local issues and the local leaders with whom he has to work as the local MLA.

During his stay here, Mr. Sitharam said Mr. Chiranjeevi would receive representations on local issues that needed immediate attention.

He said that the severe drubbing that the party received was due to some serious organisational deficiencies which would be overcome in due course.

PRP Symbol Rail engine Change: Chiranjeevi

chiranjeevi-2

Why did Praja Rajyam Party lose the elections? Well, PRP president Chiranjeevi has the answer.

According to him, most of the voters wanted to vote for the PRP, but they could not locate the rail engine symbol on the Electronic Voting Machine. The symbol was very vague. So, they chose hand, which was clearly visible and identifiable. “This is the major reason. That is the reason why we want to change our election symbol. We are going to file an appeal before the Election Commission seeking the change in symbol,” he said.

Party sources said Chiru has proposed to ask for “umbrella” symbol for the next election, since it can be easily recognised by voters.

Silly excuse, isn’t it. It is nothing but doubting the wisdom of the voters. They clearly look for symbols while voting; and if they really want to vote for the PRP, they don’t find it difficult to locate the rail engine. Even if it is umbrella, people would not vote for the party, unless they want to. It is better Chiru learns this fundamental point.

Pavan Kalyan:Allu Aravind Resigned PRP

Even as Praja Rajyam Party was conducting a series of meetings to introspect into the reasons for the party’s debacle in the recent elections, one person who was conspicuous by his absence was Pavan Kalyan, president of Yuva Rajyam, the youth wing of the PRP.

Pavan Kalyan’s absence has raised many an eye brow, as he was an important element of the the party’s campaign in the elections. “He has influenced selection of several candidates, some directly and others indirectly. He was the one who played a major role in the party’s campaign strategy. So, he should have been part of the team introspecting into the party’s defeat in the elections. He cannot simply run away like that,” a party leader said.

Pavan is said to have stopped coming to the party office after the election results. Leaders in his coterie are also making occasional appearance. He is now concentrating on his next film venture, sources say.

After the Political affairs committee meet, Chiru spoke to media today evening and explained the reason for the poor performance of his party.

1.The symbol (Rail Engine) was not clearly visible, so we are going for new symbol after consulting election commission.

2.We were little bit delayed while allotting the tickets, we could have announced the list little earlier.

3.As we were more particular about social justice, it was some disadvantage to us,instead of going for Gelupu Gurralu, we…..

4. We were expecting 40% vote share in the state, but Manmohan Singh effect is very much there on the state.

5.Still the party has done well in the elections by procuring more than 70 lakhs votes.

Dr.YSR Eyes On Jr NTR And Chiranjeevi

No one really understood how chief minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy was cool as a cucumber and was beaming with smiles prior to the election while the other parties were scampering about in the summer heat pleading for votes. The result was seen by one and all and his smiles now make sense.

Now, there is news that YS has chalked out a plan and this time he is looking to pull junior NTR into congress. If this happens, then it will become the biggest blow for entire Telugu Desam Party. On the other hand, YS is also said to have got something for the Chiranjeevi camp.

He is said to be working on strategies to dilute PRP up to ‘zero’ by pulling its won MLAs and it must be said that most of the winners have been from other parties earlier. If YS is able to pull this plan successfully then Lagadapati Sridhar’s words of YS meeting Jyoti Basu’s record will become very much a reality.

Chiranjeevi quit angry for Allu Aravind

The volcano on which Praja Rajyam chief Chiranjeevi has been sitting for quite sometime exploded on Thursday with several members of the party’s political affairs committee (PAC) indirectly blaming party general secretary Allu Aravind for the debacle in the recent Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
As soon as the PAC met Thursday morning, senior leaders, including Ch Harirama Jogaiah and P Shiv Shankar, reportedly argued that allegations of ‘ticket sales’ to aspirants had done the party in.
Another leader C Ramachandraiah, who lost the Lok Sabha election from Machilipatnam, wanted the party president to disband the PAC, party state committee and all other affiliated committees and reconstitute them with people known for their integrity and honesty.
Allu Aravind, finding himself at the receiving end, expressed his displeasure at being made a scapegoat for the flop show in polls and reportedly handed over his resignation letter to Chiranjeevi, who after reading it through, put it away in a folder.
Some members wanted even party vice-president Devender Goud to resign. Hurt by their comments, Goud is understood to have said he didn’t care for the position and walked out in a huff. The meeting was convened to find out reasons for winning a paltry 18 Assembly seats and drawing a blank in Lok Sabha polls. Chiranjeevi, who heads the PAC, listened to all but later backed Aravind, who is also his brother-in-law.
‘‘Aravind, in tune with our social justice slogan, played an important role in allotment of tickets to over 100 BCs who were not financially well off. The allegation that tickets were sold to aspirants is baseless. We do not stoop to that level. Some forces seem to be working actively to malign Aravind’s image,’’ Chiranjeevi told reporters here.

No Vasstu at Chiranjeevi House

With megastar Chiranjeevi and his party losing the elections in a rather humiliating manner, many have been trying to figure out the causes for this. As expected, the first reason Chiru family is said to be going through is the Vaastu effects on the home and also the PRP office.

Apparently, Chiru who has been taking the back route for entering and leaving the PRP office is now said to be taking the front route. This is being done on the advice of few Vaastu specialists. Not only that, even things at Chiru’s home are now said to be making few changes.

Incidentally, when Chiru was shifting from the old house to the new house, their Vaastu experts had reportedly advised them to leave everything including clothes at the old place and get all new stuff. They believed to have said that this will rid the family from the ‘Sani effect’. Ironically, Chiru’s tensions grew even more after shifting to new house with Sreeja’s wedding, Vajrotsavam controversy etc.

Chiranjeevi Worry In Opposition Party

Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi is trying to keep as cooler as possible and is trying to infuse a sort of enthusiasm in the cadres, which are thoroughly disappointed with the party’s performance in the elections.

Chiranjeevi is telling the party leaders and cadres who are coming to meet him to take the people’s verdict as a lesson so that they all should make efforts to strengthen the party in the next five years.

“Don’t worry. We have got 18 seats. Now, we have to think how we make it 10 times more in the next five years,” Chiru is telling the party leaders.

According to PRP sources, Chiranjeevi is contemplating on shedding the dead wood and cleanse the party at all levels. The primary focus is to build up the party from grassroot levels. “We have to follow the Telugu Desam model in building up the organisation at all levels,” the PRP president told the party functionaries.
