PRP merger with Congress: Political Interlock

Buzz It


"PrajaRajyam party chief Mr. Chiranjeevi announced the merger of PRP with Congress party a day ago to strengthen the later. Mr. Chiranjeevi claims that the merger was supported by the fact that both the political parties strive for social justice. It has been announced by him that the deal was made without any conditions."

After watching so much of turmoil in the Andhra Pradesh state politics, this is no big surprise. Like every merger this is supposed to help both the parties. At the same time I realize that this has no fundamental reason which can really add value to the system.

Mergers are not new in AP politics. Since 1997 there have been lot many combinations were observed which did not stand long. All the mergers were aimed at destabilizing a particular party or a section of party.

Probably, many of them like me, really enjoy commenting on such issues, after watching a stage show of this kind where puppets join hands and try to hit others.. and in no time there is a change in game plan.. a kind of real time strategy game on a political stage. Finally, when all this is over they start realizing that the puppets have gone away with their money and we still stand there to see the next one.

The fundamental for establishing a political party is overlooked. When PRP as a political party was announced, they called it a replacement for the existing politics. But in no time they started lobbying for an alliance. A well designed, stable, performing system is built on fundamentals 'Why do we need?, What do we need?, Who are the stake holders?, and many whys, wheres and hows. The moment these fundamentals are forgotten and you are ready to date any political party, then it makes no sense why it has come up sometime back.

Any political party can really become successful if they concentrate of the fundamentals on which they are built and strive for social justice.

Do not commit political suicide!!!
