KSR Murthy into Congress?

Stage is set for the entry of former bureaucrat and ex-MP K S R Murthy into the Congress.

Murthy, who played a crucial role in the establishment of Praja Rajyam Party by megastar Chiranjeevi, made a quiet exit from the PRP after the elections. On Thursday, he met Pradesh Congress Committee president D Srinivas and “discussed the political situation” in the state. He is learnt to have told the PCC president that he would support the latter’s candidature for PM post since he felt it should go the BCs.

Later, Murthy told media persons that there was no democratic set up in the PRP and several irregularities took place in the distribution of tickets during the elections. “I am planning to join the Congress very soon,” he said.
