People have high hopes on Chiru, says Kala

Correspondent

VIZIANAGARAM: Voters are not ready to believe age-old parties that promise everything with an eye on the Chief Minister’s seat, K. Kala Venkata Rao, who joined the Praja Rajyam Party, recently has said.

Making his first appearance after joining the PRP at the party’s district committee meeting here at Ananda Gajapathi Auditorium on Thursday, Mr. Venkata Rao said that people voted for the TDP in 1983 for a change. But, the changes that N.T. Rama Rao brought about for social justice were gradually diluted after “back stabbing” him for power in 1995.

Now, with the entry of Chiranjeevi people were once again hopeful that the change he promises at every meeting would become a reality, he said, adding that the party was more important than personalities and portfolios. He asked party cadres to mobilise farmers to make the ‘Rythu Sadassu’ planned at Rajam in Srikakulam district on January 18 a success.

Unity mantra

Meanwhile, leaders from other parties who joined the PRP and who have been squabbling seem to have buried their differences for the moment.

At the district committee meeting of the party, Vakada Nageswara Rao, Dr. Peddinti Jagan Mohana Rao, Guran Ayyalu, Mamidi Appala Naidu and others, who were unhappy for not getting prominent positions in the district ad -hoc committee, stressed the need to unite and work for making Chiranjeevi the chief minister.
