Praja Rajyam workshops on Backward Class welfare

HYDERABAD: The Praja Rajyam will launch a series of workshops to be attended by leaders of the Backward Classes from across the State to find solutions to problems faced by the weaker sections and incorporate them into the party’s manifesto.

At a press conference here on Monday, BC leader VGR Naragoni said the first workshop, on Tuesday, will have the participation of leaders from the north coastal districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam, considering that the party president Chiranjeevi was launching his roadshow from Srikakulam.

Between October 7 and 25, the workshops aim to cover all the 23 districts, he said. The aim was to discuss problems plaguing the BCs threadbare, come up with solutions and present a report to the party president so that they could be included in the PR manifesto, he said.

R. Jhansi, the daughter of late Gouthu Latchanna, said apart from a State-wide perspective, the focus would also be on district-specific issues. That is the reason why nearly 100 participants were invited for the workshops, from each district, she said.

The Praja Rajyam was serious about ensuring progress of the BackCs, who constituted 52 per cent of the population, said Margani Nageswara Rao, another BC leader.

Meanwhile, Mr. Chiranjeevi’s brother and film actor Pawan Kalyan is scheduled to hoist the Praja Rajyam flag at locations in 23 Assembly constituencies in the State capital, falling under the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation limits.

The programmes will start with Rahmath Nagar in Jubilee Hills constituency on Tuesday morning and end around noon at Kattedan, in Rajendranagar constituency.
