Chiranjeevi rules out support for Congress, TDP

“Praja Rajyam will get the majority required”

“Our alliance will be the fourth front”



Praja Rajyam (PR) president K. Chiranjeevi has ruled out the possibility of supporting either the Congress or the Telugu Desam Party after the elections, saying he does not see any scope for doubts about his party’s performance.

Replying to queries at a ‘Meet-The-Press’ programme organised by the Andhra Pradesh Union of Working Journalists here on Sunday, he averred that his party would cross the ‘magic figure’ (half-way mark of 147 Assembly seats) and get the majority required for forming the government in the State.

“There is no confusion in the minds of the people. If there is any confusion, it is in the Opposition parties,” he said.

The PR would also not support the Bharatiya Janata Party-led alliance at the national level. “I have a gut feeling about the emergence of a fourth front and that will be our alliance,” he said.

‘Smear campaign’

Denying allegations that the PR leadership had collected huge amounts of money from aspirants to allot party ticket, Mr. Chiranjeevi blamed the Opposition parties for successfully running a smear campaign against his party.
