In a bid to dispel rumours about dissent in Chiranjeevi camp, Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday appointed a new Andhra Pradesh Co-ordination Committee that included the Praja Rajyam Party chief.

The Co-ordination Committee shall be headed by Union health minister and general secretary in-charge of the state, Ghulam Nabi Azad and comprises of seven people including Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha, PCC president Botsa Satya-narayana, K. Chiran-jeevi, MP K.S. Rao, former PCC president D. Srinivas and former minister Shabbir Ali.

The committee will act as a bridge between the party and the government, similar to the Congress Core Commit-tee at the All India Congress Committee level. According to sources, apart from party post to Chiranjeevi, his MLAs will also be accommodated in the state Cabinet. PRP is likely to get two or three ministerial berths in the ensuing cabinet expansion in Januray 2012.
