Vijayasai Reddy launches new political party, emphasised

Vijayasai Reddy, former Member of Parliament, has launched the Parivartana Rajaneeti Party (PRP) in Andhra Pradesh. Its flag bears a central Dharmachakra, or wheel of righteousness, with a white and saffron backdrop.

Speaking on the occasion, Reddy said the party was established to give people a greater role in shaping the state’s future. He criticised both the ruling party and the opposition, saying they had failed to address people’s needs and uphold accountability. He said questioning wrongdoing was a fundamental democratic right, regardless of who was responsible.

Reddy alleged that Andhra Pradesh’s five crore people were effectively governed by two families. He questioned whether political leadership should pass from parents to their children, arguing that leaders should earn their positions through ability and public support. He said the PRP aimed to develop young leaders and help a young person become chief minister.

He described the party’s launch as a challenge to what he called “malevolent governance” and predicted significant political change. Reddy said the party would prioritise disadvantaged and marginalised communities.

Reddy said he had played an active role in building the YSRCP but had since left. He added that the PRP would welcome those who chose to leave the party and would contest all 175 Assembly seats.

He also said the PRP planned to raise with the Telangana government the removal of 26 castes from the state’s Backward Classes list.
