Clarity needed for PRP

Today Chiranjeevi gave an excellent interview on TV9. He gave very accurate and sharp answers on issues like personal attacks in politics. You can tell he is acting more dignified than other leaders. He gets irritated when someone asks about clarity. Here are the things he need to clarify -

1) No stand on Telangana- In Tirupati he said telangana is "Atmagourava Samasya". While that is appreciable, if he has said that his party favors "Separate State" in his speech, TRS would have allied with PRP than TDP and it would have swept all seats in Telangana.

2) Samajika Nyayam- PRP says it is for allotment of legislative opportunities based on caste numbers. When asked about how many seats they will give for backward castes, their response is "more than other parties". Why is it so confusing if you are clear that you are going to give seats based on caste strength ? Practical consideration is that they need to pick out leaders from all castes at the same time look at electability, spending power, support in constituency, incumbency factor, rebel equations and all the kinds of things that other parties worry about. If you are doing the same thing as other parties, what change are you proposing.

3) Still not giving out final list shows that they are waiting for rebel leaders from other parties to join PRP before finalizing the lists. There are 2-5 candidates expecting tickets from each constituency and spending money since 6 months. If they announced the candidates as soon as possible, the rebels would have cleared out either by continuing or quitting. Now there will be a pre-election backlash not only against internal competetion, but also because of opposition to rebels from other parties who got tickets easily


ps: some of my friends at TIDB believe that I am a hater and I have finally shown my true colors. Sorry. All the below posts are my posts in TIDB. People who have followed my posts know that I hate TDP and Congress and I have been vocal about PRP policies since beginning.
I would have definitely voted for PRP if they built the party as a party of poor people and long term vision for state, not as an amalgamation of leaders from other parties. PRP had a golden chance to win on Chiranjeevi's charisma and poor people's support irrespective of caste. Now they are just another political party
