The Praja Rajyam Party (abbr. PRP; transl. People's Rule Party) was a regional political party in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It was founded by Telugu film actor Chiranjeevi on 26 August 2008, with the stated aim of providing a people centric alternative to the existing political establishment. The party positioned itself on a platform of social justice, anti-corruption and inclusive development but struggled to translate popular enthusiasm into sustained electoral success. Following its poor performance in the 2009 elections, PRP gradually declined and ultimately merged with the Indian National Congress (INC) in 2011.
