PR may opt out of civic polls

The Praja Rajyam and the Telangana Rastra Samiti have decided to stay out of the prestigious Greater Hyderabad Municipal polls.

Though the TRS on Thursday announced that it was not bothered about the civic polls, the Praja Rajyam is hesitating to disclose the decision of its political affairs committee fearing resentment among the party local leaders and activists. Friday is the last day for filing nominations.

“What is the necessity to contest in each and every elections irrespective of our party presence,” said the party chief Chira-
njeevi. “We will announce the final decision on Friday, but building the cadre and party in Twin Cities is of paramount imp-
ortant for us,” he added.

The party is still keen on an alliance with the Congress and leaders told Chiranjeevi that the presence of PR in the local body elections would benefit the TD, the BJP and other parties and would create resentment in the ruling party.

Meanwhile, the TRS president, Mr K Chand
rasekhar Rao, said that the GHMC polls were a “third class subject” about which he was not bothered. “Telangana is our priority and the TRS will not contest GHMC polls,” he said.
