Vijayawada: Former Rajya Sabha MP Vijayasai Reddy on Wednesday launched his new political party, Parivartan Rajniti Party (PRP), declaring that it would challenge the dominance of established political families and promote young leadership in Andhra Pradesh. He unveiled the party’s name and flag, featuring saffron and white colours with a Dharma Chakra at the centre.Launching the party under the slogan “For the Nation, For Dharma”, Vijayasai Reddy said he had established it in the presence of deities and called upon people to bring about political change. He asserted that the future of five crore Andhra Pradesh residents should not be decided by a handful of political leaders or families.Questioning the dominance of two political families in the state’s politics, he asked whether chief ministers, ministers and MLAs should continue to emerge from the same families. He stressed that leadership should be based on merit and public support rather than inheritance.“Voting does not mark the end of people’s responsibility. It is only the beginning of their real role in democracy,” he said, adding that citizens had every right to question anyone who committed mistakes, including chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and himself.Vijayasai Reddy clarified that PRP was not intended to create another individual leader but to identify and nurture leadership qualities among youth. He said capable leaders from every caste and social community would be encouraged, with the party aspiring to see a young leader become chief minister.Referring to his association with YSRCP, he said he had played an active role in building the party but had now moved out. He added that the doors of PRP would remain open to those willing to join.Vijayasai Reddy announced that PRP would contest all 175 Assembly constituencies in Andhra Pradesh. He also said he would take up the issue of 26 communities allegedly removed from the BC list in Telangana with chief minister A Revanth Reddy.
