HYDERABAD: The symbol worries of the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) seem to be nearing an end. The party has made considerable progress in borrowing the umbrella symbol from the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF).

The party is hopeful that the Election Commission (EC) will allow it to contest on this new symbol. Party leader and Chiranjeevi’s brother Nagababu told reporters today that the PRP would be contesting on a common symbol and that the efforts to secure one were nearing completion.

According to sources, the party has come to an understanding with the SDF headed by Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling.

The SDF is a recognised party in Sikkim.

Though Chiranjeevi would get a common umbrella symbol, he would have have to, technically, be a leader of the SDF. In fact, all the PRP candidates will be contesting as SDF candidates and Chamling will have to authorise Chiranjeevi to issue B forms to candidates to fight the elections in AP on SDF’s behalf.
