A recent incident during the Brahmotsav celebrations at the Nemali Srivenugopalaswamy temple in Gampalagudem, NTR district, has sparked a new controversy involving MP Keshineni Chinni and MLA Kolikapudi. The tension escalated when Chinni’s possession of silk cloths was allegedly seized by Kolikapudi, leading to an uproar among party leaders and devotees present at the temple.
The situation took a dramatic turn when Keshineni Chinni’s supporters attempted to intervene, resulting in confusion among the temple committee members and the gathered crowd. The police were quick to respond to the unfolding drama, ensuring that the situation did not spiral out of control. This incident highlights the growing rift between the two political figures, which has seen accusations and counter-accusations become increasingly public in recent weeks.
Kolikapudi has previously alleged that Keshineni Chinni demanded a sum of ₹5 crores from him for the MLA seat, intensifying the feud between the two leaders. Furthermore, Kolikapudi has reportedly expressed his grievances about the disrespect he faces within the party to the TDP hierarchy. This escalating conflict has garnered significant attention, particularly given the viral nature of recent social media posts from Kolikapudi targeting Chinni.
In a move that has attracted widespread commentary, Kolikapudi shared a photo of Mankonda Ramakrishna, the TDP’s Mandal Party President in Gampalagudem, who had previously been apprehended by police for gambling. Kolikapudi’s post, which referred to Ramakrishna as “Golden Hill… Mankonda,” has further fueled the ongoing tensions within the party and the local political landscape.
The series of posts and public disputes have ignited heated discussions in Tiruvuru, with party workers and locals weighing in on the situation. As the rivalry between Keshineni Chinni and Kolikapudi becomes increasingly pronounced, the implications for the TDP and its unity become more concerning. Observers are keeping a close eye on how these developments will affect the party’s standing in the region as the Brahmotsav festivities continue amidst the political turmoil.
With emotions running high and public interest piqued, both leaders will need to navigate this challenging environment carefully. The outcome of their ongoing disputes may not only affect their political careers but also influence the dynamics within the TDP as it seeks to maintain its strength in the NTR district. As this contentious saga unfolds, the eyes of the public remain fixated on the next moves from both Keshineni Chinni and Kolikapudi.
