Devender Goud joins hands with Chiranjeevi

Hyderabad : Nava Telangana Party of former Andhra Pradesh home minister T Devender Goud on Sunday joined hands with actor Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam Party, impressed by the latter’s “Social Telangana” slogan.

Goud met Chiranjeevi at the PRP office here this morning and discussed the political scenario and expressed his party’s decision to forge an alliance with the latter.

Talking to reporters, Devender Goud said the PRP too was working on the same ideals like his NTP. “Our party has been formed on the basis of carving out a ‘Social Telangana’ which the PRP too has endorsed. Together we shall work for the cause of Telangana,” Goud added.

Chiranjeevi hailed the NTP’s decision to join hands with his party.

The PRP chief said his party still continued talks with another separatist party Telangana Rashtra Samiti on a possible electoral alliance. “Our doors are still open,” he remarked.

Asked about this, the NTP chief said his party would have no objection over PRP’s electoral alliances. “The PRP is free to forge alliances with any party. In fact, we would welcome the party’s ties with any pro-Telangana party,” Goud said.

He added that share of seats and other issues would be discussed at a later stage.

Devender Goud quit the Telugu Desam Party in June this year to float the Nava Telangana Party. For sometime now, there has been speculation that he would join hands with Chiranjeevi or even merge his party with the PRP.

Political analysts see Goud’s move as the first step towards a possible merger of NTP with PRP.

Chiranjeevi prajarajyam Community Lunch a Hit

4 Replies

Prajarajyam President Chiranjeevi having community lunch with Dalits in Medak district has turned out to be a master stroke.

Though taking lunch or dinner with people is not a new idea, Chiranjeevi’s decision has given him the much needed credibility and strengthened his “social justice” agenda. He not only sat among Dalit women for lunch, but also served them food and got their blessings.

Later, he shook hands with them and posed for photographs with them. Obviously, it would help him gain a lot of political mileage. In a bid to gain further sympathy among the Dalits, Chiranjeevi said though the successive governments had been claiming to be spending crores of of rupees on the welfare of Dalits, not even a few thousands are reaching the beneficiaries, while politicians pocketed crores of rupees.

Let us see what would be the strategies of other parties on this Chiru’s master stroke.

Hundreds of activists, leaders and sympathisers of the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) participated in an impressive candle rally from the party office in Sikhamani centre in protest against the recent terror attacks on the country’s commercial capital, Mumbai.

The participants raised slogans enthusiastically, denouncing the acts of terrorists and paid rich tributes to those who laid down their lives for the cause of the nation in the Operation Cyclone. The rally meandered through 5 Route and the lanes of Moghalarajapuram, as many admirers of party chief Chiranjeevi joined the procession.

Senior leader Chegondi Harirama Jogaiah, who was here in connection with party meetings, flagged off the rally. Speaking briefly to reporters later, Mr. Jogaiah said there was nothing that the Praja Rajyam Party would lose because of the alliance of the Telugu Desam Party and the Left parties. “There is nothing that the TDP will gain from this. Our party’s chances will not be affected in any circumstances,” he said.

Regarding the possible truck with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, Mr. Jogaiah refused to speak anything except that the issue would be tackled at the level of the party chief and that Mr. Chiranjeevi would take the final decision. Those who participated in the rally were G. Chandrasekhar, Boppana Bhava Kumar and others.

Actor-turned-politician Mr Chiranjeevi would not make any impact in the forthcoming general elections but would contribute to the continued degeneration of the TDP to ensure a smooth sail for the ruling Congress. This is based on a survey conducted by an independent research organisation, Centre for Documentation Research and Communications (CDRC).

“We have surveyed 265 of the 294 Assembly constituencies. The rest could not be covered due to logistical reasons. We had a total sample size of 1.19 lakh eligible voters in proportion with social configuration at the field level. The survey covered every mandal in each constituency during four phases in four weeks ending first week of October”, CDRC director Mr N Venugopal said. He is editor for Telugu monthly, Veekshanam, who exclusively made the data available to The Statesman. CDRC accurately predicted the municipal polls, local bodies’ elections and the recent by-elections in Telangana.

The survey gave the nascent Praja Rajyam Party 45 seats, 36 of which would be in Coastal Andhra alone. This shows it is clearly eating into the TDP’s traditional vote base in that region. The TDP would drop 12 seats in the region to get only ten. Overall the TDP would get 41 seats a drop of six seats from the 2004 results.

The survey was done on the premise that the Congress would go it alone as its 2004 allies ~Telangana Rashtra Samithi, CPI-M and CPI ~have deserted it. The Congress would drop eleven seats to land at 170, down from 181, but ahead of the half-way mark of 147. It would drop 30 seats in Coastal Andhra. Compared to 2004 the region lost eleven constituencies due to de-limitation. This process caused Telangana to gain 12 constituencies.

Further the Congress would retain its strength in Telangana despite not making any concrete assertions on the separate statehood issue. It would get 57 seats, four more than what it got with the alliances in 2004. The TRS in alliance with the Congress won 26 seats, but now it is down to 15. The TDP would get 23 seats in Telangana, which would be the highest in all three regions.
