HYDERABAD: The Praja Rajyam office wore a deserted look here on Monday, a day after Chiranjeevi announced the merger of his party with the Congress.Except for a few top and second-rung leaders, the rest were conspicuous by their absence. Sources said Chiranjeevi will return from Delhi on Tuesday and hold a meeting with his MLAs. The party’s extended State committee meeting will be held on Feb 9 to finalise the modalities of the merger.For now, no Congress flags or buntings were around. All that will change soon after Chiru’s return, the sources said. It is learnt that Congress’ district presidents have been entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring a “smooth transformation” of PRP cadres into Congress workers. “The DCC presidents in all districts are in touch with local PRP leaders. They are explaining the benefits of the merger. It will be a smooth affair for both of us,” PRP State secretary Syamsundar said.Chiru fans, though, it appears are more concerned about the 150th movie their star was planning. “Because of the transition, the project may be delayed. But, he will definitely complete his 150th film,” a party leader said and after a pause added: “It means the next movie, which according to Chiranjeevi is a commercial one with a social message, will help the Congress in the State.” Though ordinary workers of the PRP are certain to sail along with Chiranjeevi and join the Congress, it remains to be seen how many MLAs will respect his decision.

"The bad step in your entire life time,you damaged the self respect of fans in a big way. by merging. by establishing prp you have gained 18% of votes now if you have any dare that you will get support as you had previously it's great mistake.even you cant win any where in andhra that is for sure .since you damaged our self respect (fans) and caste wise kapus are now treated as useless, because of you. and i request you never ever say that you came into politics only for people.you came to earn money that is known to every one who have seen your political career." "A last Request From your fan Dont ever fool us since we feel ashamed that we trusted you upto this time."

I think Chiranjeevi is right in is decision in merging with congress, his ideology is social justice to people at large and as a leader he is able to define the option available to him, .In AP we dont have good dedicated leaders , we have seen chandrababu naidu when he had his own supported government in the centre he did not bother about telengana but he fostered development by bringing in IT industries and developing cities and suburbs , but today he is unable to project these as his achievements but he is propagating about telengana. TRS leader chander shekar rao he no different from Naidu . you give them power they forget you the next moment .We must choose best fool among fools thats the only politics we the people at large can do,

Chiru doesn't suit to Politics or Praja jevitham......He is great in Movies only Another Wrong Step by Chiru....Prajala hero.....Praja Rajyam......Praja droham......Praja vanchana.....Praja joke...... He is the MEGASTAR for crores of Fans All over the South, But that doesn't mean to say that they will follow him. Its better to quit politics and Concentrate on Movies, Number of movies he can do to Increase in FANS. "Preja seva" can be done even not being in Politics.....No seva in today's Politics...If at all you want to do politics don't ever use the word for people I came to politics....

If he really wants his party to merge with Congress, then he must ensure Resiganation of all his MLAs and get them elected on Congress Ticket, otherwise it is betrayal of voters, who voted against Congress

The articles regarding Chiranjeevi joining Congress seems to be like a mid-summers night dream. The good old story was told years back. It also reminds of another parable, wherein a milk maid with a basket full of Milk, curds and other milk made items went out to sell her products in her village. While walking she dreamt of selling the whole basket and in few days she thought that she would be the richest person and dreamt of buying all the luxuries that one could imagine. As she was dreaming and walking she hadn't noticed a thorny shrub that was on the way and she put her foot on the shrub. Thud fell the basket and all her dreams vanished into thin air. Here in this story I think the woman represents the congress and the basket resembles Chiranjeevi and the thorny shrub is Jagan. So my dear congress stop day dreaming and give Telangana to us so that you may at-least garner some goodwill before the last rites are performed by the people in the next elections.
