Having launched Prajarajyam as a regional political party with Social Justice as the main plank, film star Chiranjeevi merged it with Congress in less than two and half years . Chiranjeevi believes that it will provide a greater forum to work for social Justice. For Congress, the charisma of the film actor is expected to give much needed impetus especially in the backdrop of Jagan Mohan Reddy episode.
The timing of the merger is also significant especially when the state Government under the leadership of N Kiran Kumar Reddy is going to face the lengthy Budget Session. The PRP has 18 MLAs in the 294-member state Assembly and Congress’ strength is 155. The merger will surely pave way for emergence of new political equations in Andhra Pradesh.
