Chiru for Rosaiah, PRP MLAs for Jagan

Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) seems to be more interested in the late chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s successorissue than the Congress! PRP chief Chiranjeevi's remarks in praise of Chief Minister K Rosaiah in Tirupati on Tuesday have ruffled a few feathers in the party.
Chiru met Rosaiah at the latter’s invitation and said he had all the qualities to be a successful Chief Minister. Perhaps, taking a cue from him, PRP spokesperson Vasireddy Padma hinted at a possible tieup with the Congress when she pointed out that there would be nothing wrong if the PRP supported the ruling party.
The twin statements kicked up a little storm as a section in the PRP are said to be eager to see YSR's son Jagan Mohan Reddy as the chief minister. They interpreted the statements as Chiru's support for Rosaiah.
A few PRP legislators, including Sobha Nagireddy, were "hurt" at Chiru's comments, sources said. Nirmal PRP MLA Mahender Reddy reportedly wants to make his displeasure known to the megastar in person.
