Allu Aravind as Chief at Praja Rajyam Meet

Talk about Praja Rajyam being a party of "party of brothers and brother-in-laws" gained ground on Friday when Mr Allu Aravind, the brother-in-law of Chiranjeevi, presided over a convention of Backward Classes organised by the party.

The meeting was organised to chalk out strategies to win the support of BCs. During the convention, Mr Aravind said that organisational committees in the PR would be appointed in a week.

It may be recalled that Mr Aravind had led the PR delegation to meet the director-general of police, Mr S.S.P. Yadav, and the State Human Rights Commission chairperson, Justice Subhashan Reddy, to submit a memorandum over the alleged attack on PR leaders at Pulivendula on Wednesday.

While addressing the BC gathering, Mr Aravind said that the proposed public meeting "BC Atma Gourava Sabha" would be held in Hyderabad in January to garner the support of the BCs.

The PR leadership is also planning to hold BC conventions across the state so as to understand the problems being faced by oppressed classes. After the completion of these meetings the PR camp managers would prepare a draft policy on the welfare of BCs, which will be incorporated in the election manifesto of the party.
