On the 18th of October, Mr. Prakash Raj, the Tollywood actor and contestant for President’s post in the recent Movie Artistes’ Association (MAA) election, held a press meet.
The press meet was held at the MAA Election venue, the Jubilee Hills Public School, Hyderabad. During the media interaction, Mr. Prakash Raj raised doubts and about the biased nature of the recently held MAA election. Mr. Prakash Raj said he is not against the new MAA President Mr. Manchu Vishnu, but wanted clarity over some issues and doubts regarding the election. He also mentioned his issue with the MAA Returning Officer (RO) Mr. Krishna Mohan, who refused to provide CCTV footage of the election to Mr. Prakash Raj and his panel.
During the press meet, Mr. Prakash Raj said, “There was some controversy on the day of the polling. Opposing panel members clashed with our panel members. I just talked to Mohanbabu about that. He apologized. As far as I know he (Mohanbabu) is a man with a good sense of humor. No one is as good as him if you do not disturb him. He does not know what to do if you disturb him. Many politicians also took part in this election. The BJP has worked for the victory of Vishnu (Mr. Manchu Vishnu.)” Prakash Raj also said, despite losing the MAA election, he would work for the welfare of the film association in the Telugu film industry and would work for the growth and development by constantly questioning the current President and his panel regarding the growth of the MAA.
Mr. Prakash Raj questioned why he is not getting the CCTV footage, which he demanded, to clear his doubts regarding the election. Mr. Krishna Mohan asked the Prakash Raj Panel, who contested in the MAA elections 2021, to get the Telangana High Court’s permission for the CCTV footage.
The press meet came a day after Mr. Prakash Raj wrote to the MAA Election Officer Mr. Krishna Mohan. In his letter, the Tollywood actor demanded the CCTV footage, to which Mr. Krishna Mohan asked to seek the Court’s permission. Later, the Jubilee Hills Police of Hyderabad entered the picture and seized the CCTV footage.
