Hyderabad, September 21: Nearly 13 months after its formation, the Praja Rajyam has at long last a full-fledged structure in place.
Party president Chiranjeevi has announced the executive, including vice-presidents, general secretaries and district committee presidents.
He also announced that a working president post was going to be created and that this might go to his younger brother and Yuva Rajyam president Pawan Kalyan.
Chiranjeevi disclosed these decisions at a media conference here today. In all seven vice-presidents, nine general-secretaries, an executive secretary and 15 district presidents have been named.
Vice-presidents: Vangaveeti Radhakrishna, Kanakarao Madiga, Lieutenant Murthy, V Varaprasad, Mohan Rao, Amarsingh Tilawat and Devisetti Srinivas.
General secretaries: Paduri Karuna, Basavaraju Srinivas, C Umamalliswara Rao, Kothapalli Subbarayudu, Eeravatri Anil, Srikanth Reddy, Buragadda Vedavyas, SA Rehman and Thota Thrimuthulu.
AM Radhakrishna would be the executive secretary. District presidents: Venkata Ramana (Karimnagar), Captain Karunakar Reddy (Nizamabad), Sivakumar Lingayat (Medak), D Narasimha Reddy (Nalgonda), Duvvada Srinivas (Srikakulam), Jyotula Nehru (East Godavari), L Eswar Rao (Guntur rural), Shaik Shoukat (Guntur urban), Sridhar Krishna Reddy (Nellore), JM Srinivasulu (Chittore), B Hariprasad (Kadapa), K Srinivas (Greater Hyderabad), Bekkem Janardhan (Mahaboobnagar), B Sampathkumar (Warangal urban) and Manda Ilaih (Warangal rural).
Chiranjeevi has said the presidents for the remaining districts would be announced soon and that the Mahila Rajyam and Yuva Rajya executives would be revamped.
These measures indicate that the Praja Rajyam Party has finally achieved some sort of stability with regard to organisational structure.
Desertions have been checked for a month now and party leaders have reason to believe that those on board will continue to sail along.
Since its inception, the party had been functioning with ad hoc committees. A “think tank’’ of sorts had played the role of a political affairs committee but it was severely depleted by defections, leaving the party on shaky ground.
