Taking the merger of the PRP with the congress party to its logical conclusion, mega star Chiranjeevi will formally take the congress membership on August 8 in the presence of party president Sonia Gandhi in Delhi.

Sonia invited Chiru to visit Delhi any day between August 7 and 10 for the said purpose and the mega star reportedly decided to meet her on August 8.

The actor will formally join the congress in Sonia’s presence while PRP senior leaders and MLAs will join the party at Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad to complete the merger on the same day. PRP district leaders will join the congress in their respective district congress offices.

Though PRP merger was completed technically in the eyes of the Central Election Commission, Chiru wanted to give a finishing touch to the merger with a mega public show but in view of the situation prevailing in the state, the formalization will take place at a simple ceremony in Delhi.
