Believe it or not, Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy wants Praja Rajyam party chief Chiranjeevi to grow stronger and stronger.
YSR is learnt to have told his close confidants that the stronger Chiranjeevi becomes, the better it is for the Congress. According to the surveys conducted by YSR's team, Telugu Desam party is still strong in many constituencies and if proper strategies are not adopted, it might create serious troubles for the Congress. The margin between the Congress and TD in as many as 90 constituencies would be so thin that anything might happen at any time.
So, YSR feels if Chiranjeevi's party becomes stronger, it would eat into the TD votes and the Congress would scrape through in such constituencies having close finish. That is the reason why YSR is keeping silent on defections into PRP in certain constituencies. What a strategy!
