Chandrashekhar Reddy, a senior leader from Nalgonda, arrived at Gandhi Bhavan to meet the AICC in-charge. However, when he attempted to meet Deepadas Munshi in her office, she declined to meet him. Unable to secure a meeting, he left Gandhi Bhavan feeling disappointed.

Hyderabad: Even as the stand-off between Congress party and Tollywood film actor Allu Arjun continues over the Sandhya theatre incident, the actor’s father-in-law Kancherla Chandrashekhar Reddy had to leave Gandhi Bhavan embarrassed after AICC Telangana incharge Deepadas Munshi reportedly refused to meet him.

A senior Congress leader from Nalgonda, Chandrashekhar Reddy arrived at Gandhi Bhavan on Monday to meet the AICC incharge, who was also present at the venue. However, when Chandrashekhar Reddy wanted to meet Deepadas Munshi and went to her office, she refused to meet him. Left with no choice, he had to leave Gandhi Bhavan.

Later, TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud claimed that he was not aware of Chandrashekhar Reddy’s visit to Gandhi Bhavan.

“When he arrived here, we were in a press meet and I spoke to him over phone. We do not have any personal animosity with Allu Arjun,” Goud said.

Meanwhile, Congress MLA Yennem Srinivas Reddy said Telugu film stars do not help the poor and needy and were more focused about their careers.

“Most Telugu people, if they need any financial assistance or any other help from the film industry, they call Bollywood actor Sonu Sood. Our film stars, who claim to be superstars, do not understand our society and fail on the humanity parameter,” Srinivas Reddy said.

“The Telugu film industry earns lot of revenue through ticket price hikes but when there was a calamity, the film personalities do not respond. Did they extend any assistance to any hospital or a village?” he asked.

The Mahabubnagar MLA also said that on the contrary, the Tamil film industry responds to public and social issues, including River Cauvery. Superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan’s promote social service activities through their fans association.

“Save for Chiranjeevi, who set up blood donation banks, did our superstars appeal to their fans to take up such service?” he asked, also asking why couldn’t each of the actors adopt 20 government schools or hospitals.
