YSRCP will merge with Congress, says K.A. Paul

                                                                             

Prajasanthi Party president and evangelist K.A. Paul on Monday opined that the YSR Congress Party would go the Praja Rajyam Party way sooner or later.

He told a press conference here that PRP founder K. Chiranjeevi had ‘orphaned' lakhs of his followers who had reposed faith in him, by merging his outfit with the Congress to which he had projected the PRP as an alternative. In the same way, YSRCP president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy would eventually merge his party with the ruling Congress.

Referring to the next round of by-elections, he said his party had so far shortlisted candidates for Ongole, Prathipadu, Narsapur, Ramachandram, and Payakaraopet seats. The candidates would be announced once the schedule was announced.

“If the notification is issued to hold the bypolls in June, we will have time to put up candidates only for these five seats. If the bypolls are held in August, candidates will be fielded for all seats.''

He projected his party, floated to bring together SCs, STs, BCs, and minorities on to a common platform to achieve political power for themselves, as the ‘real alternative' to the ‘corrupt' ruling Congress and the opposition TDP. Focusing on the 2014 general election, his party would evolve programmes to strengthen it at the grassroots level and work for social justice for the oppressed sections.
