With Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu openly declaring that the knife attack on YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy at Visakhapatnam airport on October 25 had taken place exactly as part of Operation Garuda, the media focus naturally shifted on to Telugu film actor Sivaji who predicted this so-called operation.
However, when media started making enquiries about Sivaji, he was not available to them either in Hyderabad or in Vijayawada.
Finally, enquiries revealed that he is roaming in Atlanta City, New Jersey in the Unites States of America.
Some known Telugus in the US tried to talk to him in the wake of latest controversy, but he did not respond to their calls.
Naturally, his presence in the US at a time when Naidu was talking about the Operation Garuda following the attack on Jagan raised many suspicions.
YSR Congress party’s US wing suspected that there is definitely some connections between Sivaji coming to the US and the attack on Jagan in Visakhapatnam.
“We suspect that the TDP leadership itself might have sent Sivaji to the US to prevent the investigating authorities from questioning him about how he had got such an exact information about a possible attack on the Opposition Leader. May be, he is part of the whole conspiracy against Jagan,” a YSRC-USA leader said.
He demanded that the police should issue a red-corner notice to Sivaji and take him into custody to expose the Operation Garuda details and who the mastermind behind this entire operation was.
There is also a talk that Sivaji was spending huge amounts on gambling in the US and the investigating authorities should also probe as to how he got so much money.
However, Sivaji told a news channel on Sunday that he had come to the US for his son’s admission into a good university.
“It is my personal trip. If anybody makes any comments against my personal activities, he will have to face legal action. And I also have a bad mouth and I don’t even bother whether the opposition person is a male or female. They should be very careful while talking about me,” he warned.
He further said he had earned good money in films and also owned good properties inherited from his parents.
He also pointed out that he had not taken any names while disclosing the Operation Garuda and he had only revealed what he had heard from reliable sources.
