Vijayawada: Former MP Vijayasai Reddy on Wednesday announced the launch of his new political party, the Parivartana Rajaneeti Party (PRP), in Vijayawada. The party’s name and flag were unveiled at the event.
The flag is white and saffron, with a Dharma Chakra at its centre. Reddy said he was establishing the party as an alternative to the main parties in Andhra Pradesh and made it clear that public issues and development would be its priorities.
The party was launched at an auspicious time. Reddy had said earlier that he would found it on Ekadashi to uphold the pride of Rayalaseema, adding that his party would ensure justice for all sections.
He said the party would put an end to the dominance of the state’s two major parties and the families that control them, and that young people would be given prominence.
With some leaders reportedly looking towards Reddy’s party, there is keen interest in how Andhra Pradesh politics may be reshaped.
