AP: PRP waiting for Chiranjeevi's RS membership

Hyderabad, Mar 6: The Praja Rajyam Party is reportedly waiting for the Rajya Sabha election which is scheduled to be held on Mar 30 as Telugu superstar and party chief Chiranjeevi, who is a member of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly is all set to bag a seat in the Rajya Sabha.

The ruling Congress is expecting to grab four seats in the biennial elections to the Upper House of the Parliament.

After the merger of Praja Rajyam Party with Congress, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi had promised a seat to Chiranjeevi in the Union Cabinet.

With the retirement of four Congress members and one each of CPI and TDP, the Rajya sabha seat will be vacant in the April.

CPI, which succeeded to win seats last time over its coalition with the Congress, may not experience the same situation as it parted with the later.
