Women activists of the Praja Rajyam Party participating in a rally at Sikhamani centre in Vijayawada on Monday.

VIJAYAWADA: 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.
