Vijayasai Reddy launches Parivartana Rajaneethi Party in Vijayawada
The Story in Brief
Former YSR Congress Party Rajya Sabha member V. Vijayasai Reddy on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, launched his new political party, Parivartana Rajaneethi Party (PRP), in Vijayawada. The flag, with saffron at the top, white at the bottom and a Dharma Chakra in the middle, was unveiled at A-1 Convention Centre at 11:11 am. The party's slogan is 'Desham Kosam, Dharmam Kosam' (For the Country, For Dharma).
Reddy said PRP aims to end dynastic politics and create opportunities for young leaders from every community. He ruled out becoming chief minister, saying he would act as a mentor. The party's agenda includes free power to farmers, employment generation, education and financial discipline. It plans meetings in Visakhapatnam, Tirupati and Anantapur. The initials match those of actor Chiranjeevi's Praja Rajyam Party, as m9.news reports.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Most sources, including The Hindu, CNBC-TV18 and The Times of India, offer straight accounts of the launch, leading with the party name, flag and Reddy's statements. Telugu360's coverage is a live video link with no independent reporting. m9.news adds a speculative angle, questioning whether PRP can attract disgruntled YSRCP leaders and voters, and notes the initials match Chiranjeevi's Praja Rajyam Party, a detail The Hindu omits. The Hindu reports Reddy's reference to Bal Thackeray and Kanshi Ram as mentors, CNBC-TV18 quotes his 60% youth opportunity pledge. The Hans India mentions the flag's saffron background with Dharma Chakram. Coverage is largely uniform, differing mainly in emphasis on Reddy's anti-dynasty rhetoric versus his past as a Jagan associate.
The key question is whether PRP can convert its launch into a viable political force, with m9.news saying its real strength will be clear only when it reaches people.
