Chiranjeevi detained at Rajahmundry airport

Congress Rajya Sabha member K Chiranjeevi was reportedly detained on Monday at the Rajahmundry airport when he was on his way to meet Kapu crusader Mudragada Padmanabham in Kirlampudi, East Godavari district.

Kapu crusader Mudragada Padmanabham is fasting unto death demanding reservation for the Kapu community people. Along with APCC chief Raghuveera Reddy, former Union minister K Chiranjeevi, who recently underwent a shoulder surgery, was on his way to meet Padmanabham and extend the support of Congress party to him. Both the Congress leaders took a special flight from Begumpet airport this morning.
Addressing the media at Gandhi Bhavan on Sunday, APCC chief N Raghuveera Reddy said that Chiranjeevi and some other ministers had decided to pay a visit to Padmanabham at Kirlampudi and extend their support to him on Monday. Raghuveera had alleged that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was trying to create rift between Kapus and BCs through his provocative statements.
