Former Chief Minister K. Rosaiah has said decision to merge Praja Rajyam into the Congress had given a new turn to the Andhra Pradesh politics. The merger will immensely benefit the two sides. Decision not to impose any terms and conditions was highly appreciated, Mr. Rosaiah said at a press conference on Monday.

He said once the merger has been announced, the relevance of Mr. Chiranjeevi's earlier stand on Telangana does not matter any more. Former Minister J.C. Diwakar Reddy welcomed the merger announcement.
