VIJAYAWADA — Former YSR Congress Party Rajya Sabha parliamentarian V. Vijayasai Reddy launched a new regional outfit, the Parivarthana Rajaneethi Party, at the A Convention Centre in Vijayawada at precisely 11:11 AM on November 11.
A clean break is now official. The event ended months of tactical silence following his bitter departure from YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, positioning the fledgling organization as an alternative to both the ruling Telugu Desam Party and the principal opposition across Andhra Pradesh.
Vijayasai Reddy spent decades at the absolute center of the YS family's inner political machinery. He advised the late former Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, steered backstage coordination in New Delhi, and acted as Jagan Mohan Reddy's chief strategist through years of intense political turmoil. Both men faced Central Bureau of Investigation charges as co-accused in disproportionate-assets and quid-pro-quo cases—allegations both leaders have vigorously contested in court.
The alliance frayed rapidly after the YSRCP's crushing defeat in the 2024 Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections.
Vijayasai Reddy initially announced his retirement from active politics in January 2025, releasing statements thanking the YS family before formally resigning his party membership. Relations deteriorated further in May 2025 when Jagan openly attacked his former strategist over the state's contentious liquor-scam controversy. The public dispute shattered any remaining pretense of reconciliation.
Speaking at the launch, Vijayasai Reddy framed the Parivarthana Rajaneethi Party around state patriotism, citizen welfare, and regional economic protection. He declared the outfit an open platform built to elevate Gen-Z leadership and usher untested faces into state politics.
His policy ledger focuses directly on agricultural stability, subsidized education, job generation for youth, and higher living standards for working-class households.
The party will act as a genuine platform to encourage Gen
Z leadership and bring entirely new faces into public life." — V. Vijayasai Reddy, Founder, Parivarthana Rajaneethi Party
To track the launch details and core attributes of the new regional entity:
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Party Name | Parivarthana Rajaneethi Party (PRP) |
| Founder | V. Vijayasai Reddy (Former Rajya Sabha MP) |
| Launch Venue & Time | A Convention Centre, Vijayawada; 11:11 AM, Nov. 11 |
| Core Focus Sectors | Agriculture, Youth Employment, Affordable Education |
| Target Demographic | Gen-Z leadership and first-generation politicians |
| Political Stance | Opposing ruling TDP and opposition YSRCP |
Households across Andhra Pradesh immediately recognized the party's three-letter abbreviation.
The acronym PRP carries deep historical baggage across Telugu politics. In 2008, cinema star K. Chiranjeevi formed the Praja Rajyam Party under identical initials, promising clean administration and social justice as an alternative to both the Congress and the TDP. Chiranjeevi's party bagged 18 seats in the 2009 Assembly elections but stalled short of power, eventually folding in 2011 through a formal merger with the ruling Congress under YSR.
Having officially unrolled his party banner, Vijayasai Reddy now moves to recruit district conveners, establish village-level cadre networks, and pull sitting leaders away from both rival camps before the state's next electoral test.
