Former TDP MLA from Denduluru in Eluru district, Chintamaneni Prabhakar, got some relief from the high court on Wednesday from the SC ST Atrocities case booked against him. The Chintalapudi police in the district booked the case against the TDP leader on April 26.

The case was booked following a complaint by Thommandru Bhupathi, sarpanch of Ankampalem village of Pragadavaram mandal. Bhupathi alleged that the TDP leader abused him by caste when he questioned him while holding protest in the village. The TDP leader held a protest as part of the party programme.

Bhupathi and his supporters went to the TDP’s protest and questioned them for accusing chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. This was followed by a minor brawl between the supporters of Bhupathi and Chintamaneni Prabhakar.

The police intervened and dispersed the fighting activists of the two parties. Later, Bhupathi lodged a complaint with the Chintalapudi police alleging that Prabhakar had abused him in the name of caste.

The court stayed further action on the case against the former MLA. The counsel for Chintamaneni said that the former MLA did not abuse anyone including the complainant. The case was fabricated and pleaded with the court to quash it.

On hearing the counsel, the court directed the police not to proceed further on the case filed against the former MLA. The court adjourned the case for further hearing at a later date.

After lying low for some time Denduluru former MLA and former TDP strongman Chintamaneni Prabhakar is becoming active again. He has begun touring the constituency, meeting party workers and interacting with the people at large. Despite a spate of cases and arrests, he has now gone into attack mode. And why has he suddenly become active? The reason is the follies that his arch rival and sitting YSRCP MLA Abbayya Chowdary is committing.

Sitting MLA Abbayya Chowdary is actively encouraging groupism in the party and is playing favorites due to which there is disenchantment against Chowdary. There is a strong feeling that the MLA has lost control over the party cadres. What is more problematic for the MLA is that the cadre is busy squabbling in Pedavegi mandal, which is a strong citadel of Chintamaneni.

For instance, the birthday celebrations of Chowdary were held in the constituency recently. During the festivities, groups led by Thonta Tataiah and MPP Ramya clashed openly. This has led to the arrests of the workers belonging to the Tataiah group. When the MLA tried to speak in favour of Tataiah, the Ramya group has revolted and threatened agitation.

TDP strongman Chintamaneni saw this as an opportunity and has begun wooing the disgruntled sections of the YSRCP. He has begun touring the Pedavegi mandal to regroup his supporters. He is trying to take advantage of the confusion in the YSRCP ranks and win back the support of the voters.

Controversial TDP leader Prabhakar once again made sensational remarks. He said he will campaign for Janasena and BJP candidates in the upcoming local elections for Eluru Corporation. Apparently he was so disturbed by the TDP local leaders colluding with YSRCP. Details as below

As municipal polls are approaching fast, political parties are making all the efforts to win maximum seats. Ruling party is ahead of all other parties in this race and pulling the leaders of opponent parties to its fold. Chintamaneni Prabhakar wanted to take Eluru corporation elections seriously and defeat YSRCP candidates but he is not getting support from local TDP leaders. He alleged that these local TDP candidates are betraying the party by colluding with ruling party. He criticized those leaders for being sold out to ruling party. Chintamaneni added, if TDP leaders are not cooperating, he will campaign for BJP and Janasena candidates who are contesting against YSRCP. His comments became talk of the town especially given the fact that he ridiculed Pawan and his party when TDP was in power.

We need to wait and see whether he will really campaign for BJP Janasena candidates.
