Chiranjeevi's party coy on merger with Congress

Chiranjeevi's party coy on merger with Congress
Hyderabad: The Praja Rajyam Party today said it has decided to "work together" with the Congress to achieve its objective of social justice and authorised party president K Chiranjeevi to decide whether to merge the outfit with Congress when he meets AICC chief Sonia Gandhi in New Delhi.
     
"Since the PRP does not have the strength of its own to realise the objective of social justice and uplift of downtrodden, we have resolved to join hands with the Congress," party political affairs committee member C Ramachandraiah told reporters after a meeting of party MLAs and senior leaders here.
    
He, however, did not specify if working together with the Congress meant a merger.
    
"We have authorised our president to take an appropriate decision," Ramachandraiah said.
