My views and perceptions on Chiru Party (Praja Rajyam)...


This is my very personal opinion and perception, which can be wrong and if it is not correct I apologize for it before hand.

The new parties coming into the political arena have to be encouraged, it increases the competition and competition always gets good service along with it. It’s great that we got an alternative over the rest two main parties.

But going into the inner depths and details, there was nothing new nothing different being offered by the Praja Rajyam. I could just find one interesting point in the whole of the speech, the concept relating to Economic Backward Class but again even this is not new it’s been put forth by Jayaprakash Narayan and other political analysts numerous times. If we think over yesterday’s meeting and gathering it very nearly resembled the first day openings of any Chiru movie(30 injured, 3 seriously injured). We find that if the producer and the unit are apprehensive about the performance of the movie they will try to cash in with first day/ week’s collection by creating huge hype for it. Even this was very similar now the performance has to be watched. Here we got a very bad culture of creating the hype that some hero movie has to run for min 100 day’s even though the movie is worst in every sense, this is done at the expense of the loss for the producer and the distributors. Hope it doesn’t continue here again, coz here the expenses will be levied on the public. Praja Rajyam for sure will be able to win few seats and the business minded people in and around Chiranjeevi for sure will try to make a profit on all the money spent by them from those seats.



About the name Praja Rajyam means ruled by the public themselves it’s a synonym for the democracy and am sure we now follow democracy only, or is it something new they are going to add to it?? Atleast I was not able to find something new or better way of democracy they are planning for in yesterday’s meeting. Have to be watched for.
The Flag, even it had nothing new or different to offer. The idea for the flag is directly copied from our National Flag, it’s good that it has not been copied from other countries flag. The 24 rays in the flag is the Ashok chakra in our flag with same meaning. The saffron, white and green colors are repeated, just it’s been reorganized and the meaning of those colors is also the same here, Praja Rajyam seriously needs a good designer. Hope the ideas and its implementation atleast won’t be copied from other parties.

The money that is being spent all this while may be few crore’s sorry not few many J and the plans of buying an helicopter which is going to cost a fortune. These finances part really needs to be explained how they are able to get such huge amounts? coz again it will for sure be earned from the public money.

Everyone talks about Chiru being emotional kind etc but there is something more he’s also very diplomatic. It is evident in scenes with Rajashekar, where he goes and says sorry to him in front of the media its great needs to be appreciated but when rajashekar tries to talk to media after that he cuts him short then and there and leaves from the place even without listening what he was saying to media. Also in the issue with Mohan babu. Every time whenever he’s in front of media he’s at his diplomatic best. I am afraid that Diplomacy only helps in personal gains but not to the society.

Whenever there is some need and something needs to be acted upon he gives a message to his fans to look into it, Don’t know how much really he gets into it. Even very recently he has called upon his fans to help the people affected by heavy rains, I am not sure how much he himself got into helping them. Hope he doesn’t do the same here after getting into the power.



If Chiru has got no motive of getting into the power and his sole intention was to serve people and change the society, I feel that he should have better joined hands with Jayaprakash Narayan. As it would be more advantageous to the society. JP being very knowledgeable person about politics, he has good command on every issue and has done a great study in everything. He’s a very good person with very good intentions which no one can disagree with.

It’s evident from the Loksatta party website where, all his ideas are explained in detail. The organization structure, the implementation of the ideas everything is explained in detail. Which every other party needs to learn from, even the new party has to. I was surprised to see the Financial Accounts when I visited it earlier before by-elections in detail posted on Loksatta party website which really needs courage to, not every can do this. But now am unable to search for it may be they are updating or I was not able to search this time. Being transparent gets in accountability and that is very important for the betterment of any organization.

If the accounts and financial details of the new party are made transparent than it would be great and be believed that the governance under them will also be transparent. On the whole I see it as just another Political Party with a great person with huge following leading it. But it needs to work on these issues as well. Hope it does.

PS : I am against none, I am diehard fan of none
