WARANGAL: Prajaraja Rajyam Party (PRP) founder-president Chiranjeevi is making false allegations against the Congress and Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy only for receiving people’s applause, DCC president Gandra Venkataramana Reddy and PCC member Banda Prakash have said.

Speaking to mediapersons here today, the Congress leaders said even dialogues in films lacked the sting when compared with Chiranjeevi’s venomous criticism of the Congress, they said.

“Just by reading scripts written by others and criticising the Government and chief minister, one can never be praised by the public,’’ they said. They claimed that development and welfare programmes were implemented on a large scale during the last four years under the Congress rule.

The government has always been farmer-friendly, they said adding that the free power scheme, waiver of loans and pavala vaddi schemes were keeping the farming community happy. “Had Chiranjeevi not seen any green farm lands during his tour?,’’ they questioned.

The PRP president does not know the difference between corruption and sincerity, the Congress leaders criticised. “Chiranjeevi, who gives speeches on human values, had himself given up the values after entry into politics,’’ they said.

Reminding that Chiranjeevi had not announced the party policies since formation of his political outfit, they advised him to put an end to such cheap criticism.
