Phase 2day will be a breeze: PRP
HYDERABAD: The Praja Rajyam Party claimed that the constituencies going to the polls tomorrow were their bastions and it would win a majority of the seats.
While Rayalaseema would be a cakewalk, the south coastal districts from East Godavari to Nellore were also highly favourable to the party, it maintained.
Speaking to the media here today on the eve of the second phase, party political affairs committee members P Upendra, KSR Murthy and general secretary Umamalleswara Rao said it would win about 70 Assembly seats in the next round.
The Congress and Telugu Desam were spending huge amounts of money and plying the people with liquor, and the police were largely unable to check this, they maintained.
But Chiranjeevi’s campaign had drawn massive crowds and the people would teach a lesson to the corrupt Congress, they added, pointing out that the chief minister had kept scaling down the numbers he expected his party to bag. Beginning with 260, he was now citing 160. Even this might end up at 60, they joked.
As for the Telugu Desam, the PRP leaders wondered where it would find the money for the cash transfer scheme (CTS) and ridiculed it for jumping the gun by even handing out application forms for the same.
In contrast, the PRP’s promises were credible, they said.
KSR Murthy urged the voters to weigh their options especially carefully in the parliamentary constituencies and keep in mind the fact that the Congress MPs from the State had failed to secure anything from the Centre. In fact, they had merely looked on as Tamil Nadu walked away with several projects, he said.
