Taking a serious view on media reports that appeared in two Telugu dailies stating that a section of legislators suggested the Prajya Rajyam Party (PRP) chief to
merge with the ruling Congress, the film-star-turned-politician and PRP founder K Chiranjeevi on Thursday took strong exception to the media reports and termed them as speculation of conspiracy against the party.
In the wake of such reports appearing in a section of media, the PRP leader convened a meeting with his party members at the assembly precincts to take stock of the situation.
Talking to media after the meeting, he ruled out the reports about the likelihood of Praja Rajyam MLAs joining other parties.
Chiranjeevi alleged that the PRP was being deliberately targeted by the media with the sole intention of weakening the party. He said that all the 18 legislators were solidly behind him.
"I am perplexed why the media is targeting PRP MLAs. There is no truth in it and the reports are baseless," Chiranjeevi lamented. He said that only Andhra Jyothi and
Eenadu dailies are filing such baseless stories to damage the reputation of PRP.
PRP SEEKS UNCONDITIONAL APOLOGY:-
Denying the reports, PRP leader Vanga Geetha demanded unconditional apology from the two newspaper managements for filing such baseless stories.
Condemning the reports, she said that there is no truth in those reports. One or two MLAs may want to join the Congress or the TDP. But the party is not bothered on such defections.
“PRP is here to stay under the leadership of Mr Chiranjeevi. He is determined to strengthen the party from the grassroots level on the slogan of social justice,” she said. “Chiranjeevi has already made it clear that those who want to leave the party may go but the party is here to stay,” Vanga Geeta reiterated.
