Praja Rajyam to Enrol 37,000 Members in each Segment

The Praja Rajyam wants to enroll at least 37,000 members into the party in each Assembly constituency in the State to ensure that the membership will reach the one-crore mark.
The membership drive is going on in all the constituencies.

Chiranjeevi’s fans, Praja Seva Samiti members, ticket aspirants, newly joined leaders are participating in the drive.

The party has opened offices in all district headquarters and appointed office incharges to assist those who are participating in the enrollment drive.

However, some leaders are complaining about shortage of application forms. "In our constituency we received only 5,000 forms which were distributed within hours," said a leader from Guntur district.

The district coordinators, who were appointed to supervise the Vurura Praja Rajyam programme, submitted their reports to the party office today, listing the number of villages where the programme took place and other details.

The party is going to utilise the services of Varadhi members who had earlier worked for voter enrollment.

Senior leader Ch Harirama Jogaiah said at a press conference here today that the Varadhi members would visit every house, explaining the party’s policies and urging the people to join the Praja Rajyam. "They would collect Rs 5 from each member.We kept the membership fee low to ensure that it should be within the reach of every one," he explained.

Jogaiah took objection to a report published in a vernacular daily in which party was described as a ‘money collecting agency’. It was not fair to resort to mudsliding on a party which was trying to cleanse the politics, he said and sought the cooperation of the media in the party’s endeavour.
