BJP MLA Supports Revanth Reddy on Sandhya Theatre Tragedy
BJP MLA Backs CM Revanth Reddy on Sandhya Theatre Controversy
The Sandhya Theatre controversy continues to stir strong reactions across the public and political spectrum. Interestingly, even the BJP seems divided on this issue. While leaders like Kishan Reddy and Purandeshwari have criticized Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s actions, BJP MLA Vishnu Kumar Raju has taken a contrasting stand, openly supporting the CM’s crackdown on Allu Arjun and the benefit show culture.
Vishnu Kumar Raju’s Stance
Speaking to the media, Vishnu Kumar Raju expressed his concerns over the impact of benefit shows on the public. He stated,
“This benefit show culture must be stopped. Who benefits from it? What’s evident is that the common public, who are passionate about films, end up losing money. Spending ₹900 for a ticket priced at ₹300 is unjustifiable.”
Raju further highlighted the dangers posed by these shows, saying,
“Stampedes during such events risk lives. While Kishan Reddy views this as political vendetta and Purandeshwari questions Allu Arjun’s involvement in the case, I firmly believe CM Revanth Reddy’s actions are justified.”
BJP MLA Texting ‘Good Job’ to Revanth Reddy
Vishnu Kumar Raju revealed that he personally texted Revanth Reddy, applauding his efforts to tackle the issue. This move contrasts with the larger BJP narrative, which appears to side with Allu Arjun. However, Raju, known for his outspoken nature, has boldly strengthened the CM’s argument.
The BJP Divide
This controversy has brought a split within the BJP ranks:
- Kishan Reddy and Purandeshwari: Condemned Revanth Reddy’s actions, labeling them politically motivated.
- Vishnu Kumar Raju: Supports the CM, emphasizing public welfare and accountability in the film industry.
Public Reaction
The public remains polarized, with some supporting the crackdown as necessary for safety and fairness, while others view it as an undue attack on a beloved star and the entertainment industry.
Conclusion
As the Sandhya Theatre episode unfolds, the debate over benefit shows and accountability continues to dominate political discussions. With leaders like Vishnu Kumar Raju siding with Revanth Reddy, the issue has sparked new conversations about the intersection of cinema, politics, and public welfare.
