He was neither injured in a terror attack nor while taking part in a social activity but in a stampede at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad. But the political big shots of Telangana are continuing to visit Sri Tej at the KIMS Hospital where he is undergoing treatment.
Moreover, these political leaders are speaking volumes showing their concern for the boy after coming out from the hospital. They are also giving different versions about the incident in which Sri Tej was injured.
Earlier, political leaders like Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, who gave only Rs 25 lakh to the family and many other Congress leaders, including several corporation chairpersons had visited Sri Tej.
However, the number of political leaders who visited KIMS Hospital increased on Tuesday. Mahbubnagar MP DK Aruna, Malkajgiri MP Eatala Rajender and Armoor MLA Paidi Rakesh Reddy of the BJP, MLA Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao of the CPI and former MLA Julakanti Ranga Reddy, state executive committee member DG Narasimha Rao and CPM state committee member visited KIMS Hospital on Tuesday.
The newly appointed Telangana Film Development Corporation Chairman Dil Raju also visited KIMS Hospital.
Later, speaking to the media, DK Aruna said the incident was painful and that the TG government and the cinema industry must help the victim’s family.
Eatala Rajender stressed that tight security is needed for cricketers, political leaders and cinema stars as people can come in huge numbers to watch them.
He asked Allu Arjun to extend comprehensive support to the victim’s family and the government to ensure that this kind of incidents are not repeated.
Stating that it is painful that a woman died in the Sandhya Theatre incident, CPI MLA Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao stressed the need for tough decisions by the government to prevent similar tragedies.
Targeting Allu Arjun, Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao said that the Censor Board should not have permitted films that encourage lawlessness. Telugu films are showing villains as heroes these days and misleading society, he said.
Former CPM MLA Julakanti Ranga Reddy said the Sandhya Theatre incident took place due to the fault of the theatre management and Allu Arjun’s team.
However, TFDC Chairman Dil Raju said that he would work as a bridge between the Telugu film industry and the government.
