The Chiranjeevi camp, which has announced a new political party, is yet to submit an application for its registration with the Election Commission. Though leaders from different political parties and people from all walks of life have joined the party, no move has been made to get it registered. As per EC guidelines, a political party has to submit its application within 30 days from the date of formation.

Those who rushed to join the new party were surprised after they were given "nameless" application forms at the office of Chiranjeevi’s proposed party. "We are yet to submit an application to the EC," said an aide of the actor. "We are finalising some crucial issues. It will be done in a week." As per section 29A of the Representation of People’s Act 1951, nine requirements have to be fulfilled for the registration of a political party.

The party should have a constitution authenticated by its president and general secretary. It should give details of the organisational set-up, posts and their terms and other aspects. It should also submit an affidavit by at least 100 registered voters. They should not be members of any other political party. The party should also have a bank account. The Chiru camp cannot fulfil many of these conditions at present.

Interestingly, the state government has given full security to Chiranjeevi and his party office without going into all this. The management of the party office also displays the lack of awareness of the Chiranjeevi camp. As yet, there is no authorised person whom the media and political leaders can contact. "If some big leader wants to join the party, whom should he contact?" asked a TD leader. Even the decision to organise public meet at the Avilala ground in Tirupati has run into a problem. Police are unhappy at the decision because of security reasons and a petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Wednesday requesting that the meeting be prevented.
