Hyderabad, November 12: Praja Rajyam Party president K Chiranjeevi has ruled out a merger of his 15-month-old outfit with the ruling Congress in Andhra Pradesh.
“We shall not even entertain such thoughts,” Chiranjeevi told a press conference here today.
The actor-turned-politician reacted rather angrily to the suggestion made by some Congress leaders, including Agriculture Minister N Raghuveera Reddy, that it would be better if the PRP merged with the national party.
“Such suggestions only indicate that the Congress has weakened. But we shall never entertain such thoughts,” Chiranjeevi added.
Questioned on what basis the PRP sought to align with the Congress for the elections to Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, he said it was only to ensure total development of Hyderabad city.
“Not that our philosophies are same but our focus is on the total development of the state capital.
