Strategy meet: Praja Rajyam district convener Dola Jagan Mohan Raowith party leaders Kala Venkata Rao and Tammineni Seetharam at the party workers’ meeting in Srikakulam on Monday. —

Srikakulam: Praja Rajyam Party spokesperson Tammineni Seetharam on Monday lambasted critics for terming the party as organisationally weak and as one devoid of manifesto and programmes.

Participating in a meeting organised to welcome the entry of several municipal ex-councillors and their followers at the PRP office here, Mr. Seetharam said such criticisms were aimed at demoralising the PRP cadre.

He refuted criticisms in this regard saying that the party was engaged in the exercise and has made rapid progress.

He said formation of district committees was over and committees at the mandal and gram panchayath level were also being constituted.

He reminded critics that it was not the case with TDP when NTR founded the party. Committees were then constituted only after the party captured power.

He maintained that the criticisms reflected the jealousy of PRP opponents due to growing popularity of the new party. In Srikakulam district committees had been formed in all the 10 Assembly constituencies.

Mr. Seetharamsaid the acid attacks on girls and insecurity feeling of parents regarding their children, corruption even in pensions disbursal and increase in crime rate reflected the poor governance of the Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy government.

He predicted that the PRP would get a thumping majority in the coming Assembly elections.

Senior PRP leader Kimidi Kala Venkata Rao said he was averse to criticising the party he had left. I

n whatever party he was he believed that politics was an instrument to serve the poor and the state.

He said that his association with the TDP was a thing of the past and he never believed in talking about yesterday.

He said women in the State were bearing the brunt of the faulty economic policies being pursued by the Congress government and the spiralling prices of vegetables and essential commodities were a glaring example.

D. Jagan Mohan Rao, district convenor of PRP, K. Jogulu, Palakonda MLA, and other leaders Duvvada Sreenivas and Kambala Ravi Raju also spoke.
