Internal surveys predictlandslide for PRP
HYDERABAD: The gap between the leadership and the senior leaders of the Prajarajyam pa rty (PRP) is growing not withstanding the highly favourable
reports predicted by the commissioned surveys. While the surveys predict 25 MPs and 200 MLAs in the next elections, many senior leaders feel that the leadership is not taking into consideration the party's recent setbacks. They say the surveys were based on the image of the leader, not the winnability of candidates whom the party is yet to identify. Losing Left parties to TDP and failure to attract some prominent BC and Kapu leaders are some of the main setbacks for the party, they point out. Seniors questioned the basis of the survey results which have been carried out with Chiranjeevi as the central figure. "Will Chiranjeevi contest from 294 seats? To convert the image of Chiranjeevi into votes, you need a strong political structure. Where is it?" asked a veteran in the party. According to a close aide of Chiranjeevi, the party's internal surveys predict a landslide victory, both in the Assembly and Lok Sabha Polls. " The surveys predicted 200 Assembly seats for PRP. And for Lok Sabha, we are going to win not less than 25 seats," he said. The surveys are said to have predicted a sweep for the party even in some strongest TDP constituencies in north coastal Andhra. Even though the party is miserably weak as far as the organisation is concerned, the leadership is in an upbeat mood by the survey results. An internal assessment says the 22 per cent of Kapu votes coupled with massive support from the backward classes is bound to herald the "change" which Chiranjeevi is espousing. This over confidence, many senior leaders allege, has already started taking its toll on the image of the party.
