Giving one more shock to the YSRCP regime, the High Court of Andhra Pradesh has granted bail to Sangam Dairy Chairman and former TDP leader Dhulipalla Narendra. Bail was also given to Sangam Dairy Managing Director Gopalakrishnan. The court ordered them to submit sureties.

The HC however ordered Mr. Narendra and Mr. Gopalakrishnan to remain available within the Vijayawada Corporation limits for the next four weeks. They should provide their address in Vijayawada to the investigating officers. The police can call them for questioning with a 24 hours prior notice to them.

As of now, Mr. Narendra was receiving treatment while in judicial custody at a private hospital in Rajahmundry. He got infected with the Coronavirus infection while in jail. He was arrested on April 23 on the charges of mismanaging the properties of the Sangam Dairy in the Guntur district.

Ever since additional Advocate General Ponnavolu Sudhakar Reddy ‘behaved threateningly’ before a judges bench, the Jagan Reddy regime has been getting adverse judgements one by one from both the High Court and the Supreme Court. The YCP leaders were unusually silent in a departure from their past track record of making abusive comments against the courts’ judgements.

The High Court of Andhra Pradesh has taken a serious view of the manner in which the State Government has taken over the management of the Sangam Dairy in the Guntur district. After hearing both sides, the HC suspended the GO issued by the Jaganmohan Reddy regime to meddle in the affairs of Sangam. The court has also asked the Government to allow the directors of the dairy company to run their organisation as per their own decisions.

This was being seen as a big blow to the Government since it has already taken advance steps and made the Tenali Sub Collector to take over the dairy. Today’s court orders have totally reversed the process initiated by the Jagan regime. The Sangam Dairy directors have already said that their company was being weakened for the sake of helping the Amul Dairy Company with an ulterior motive.

The High Court also heard the petition for stopping the Government to sell the properties of the Sangam Dairy. It gave an instruction to the Government not to sell any properties without informing it.

The HC has also directed the ACB Court to hear the petition by Dhulipalla Narendra to quash the case filed by the ACB. It also ordered daily panchanama of the investigations being made by the ACB officials in the Sangam Dairy premises. The petitioners complained that the investigating police officials were passing over crucial information of Sangam to private persons.

The Jaganmohan Reddy Government is making quick moves to outwit rivals on the issue of taking over the Sangam dairy in the Guntur district. It is changing its strategies every few hours in order to gain an upper hand. Earlier, the Government issued GO removing the identity of Sangam dairy and the sub collector to take over the dairy. But soon, it has implemented a new strategy wherein a new Chairman is appointed.

The TDP has questioned the Government’s powers to interfere in the affairs of the Sangam dairy which is formed under the Companies Act. As if to overcome this, the ruling YCP leaders changed their game plan. An emergency meeting of the Sangam dairy directors was held at Chintalapudi in Ponnur mandal. Narra Venkata Krishna Prasad was elected as the new Chairman of Sangam dairy.

TDP leader and former Chairman of Sangam dairy Dhulipalla Narendra has been arrested and imprisoned. With the change of Chairman, the ruling YCP leaders are now bent on using the new management to carry out their plans.

Fast paced developments have taken place in Sangam dairy in just two days. The TDP is now making last ditch efforts to convince the directors and the societies in order to prevent the dairy from falling under the YCP influence.
