Boyapati Booked for Pushakram Stampede

The massive turnout of civilians at Rajahmundry on the first day of Godavari Pushkaralu event led to a big stampede killing nearly 27 persons. While opposition parties and media blamed the incident as colossal failure of TDP government and CM Chandrababu Naidu, but there is a different hidden interpretation coming to light.    

Former Amalapuram MP GV Harsha Kumar’s son Sreeraj filed a complaint against Naidu and director Boyapati Srinu alleging them as culprits behind stampede. As per the complaint, Naidu used his political power to close the Ghat for nearly 4 hours there by resulting in swelling of crowds. In this mean time, Boyapati canned a short film on Naidu and his Pushkaram Pooja to be actually broadcasted on TV channels later on.

For the short film to have more appeal, Boyapati needed huge crowds which are obviously arranged by Naidu closing the gates at Pushkar Ghat. All this was done only to popularize Naidu and his regime in Andhra Pradesh. This is sheer power abuse by Naidu who broke all the protocols by allowing direction team headed by Boyapati enter into main Ghat. 

As the case is officially filed in Rajahmundry Police Station 3, it is time for Naidu to answer in order to prove his innocence. May be Boyapati has to attend the Court, if further proceedings are ordered by Justice. There were several occasions in the past Naidu craved for publicity using director like Raghavendra Rao.
