Hyderabad, August 05: Congress President Sonia Gandhi wrote a letter to Chiranjeevi two days ago, to be prepared to merge his PRP in Congress between August 8 and 10. Her sudden air-dash to America for cancer treatment and the prospect of her being unavailable for the next month or so have created doubts about the merger in the minds of Congress cadres and Chiranjeevi.
Will the merger be postponed till Sonia’s return? Or will the merger be completed in the presence of her son and heir apparent Rahul Gandhi? These are the questions being discussed in the Congress as well as PRP circles. However, PCC Chief Botcha
Satyanarayana is of the view that the matter should be discussed with Chiranjeevi and decision should be taken as per his wish.
