Today morning, Prakash Raj called for a press meet and revealed to the media that Vishnu Manchu bribed around 60 members and made them vote for him using postal ballots. Prakash Raj complained to the election officer regarding the same. A while ago, Manchu Vishnu met the press to the allegations and also fired on Prakash Raj.
“Last time, the association opted for ballot papers for the election. Our panel members voted for the same. So, I wrote a letter to the election officer to consider the option. There are more than 160 old artists in the association. All of them can’t come to vote on the polling date. Prakash Raj should understand that before shedding crocodile tears,” said Vishnu, warning the actor that he will not tolerate if Prakash Raj or his panel members drag his family into the issues of the election.
“Prakash Raj is behaving like Aparichithudu and is acting well in real life too. Someone should give him a BP tablet,” said Vishnu.
Vishnu gave clarity on the prime allegation made by Prakash Raj in the morning. “When I called up 160 artists who are aged above 60, hundred among them told that they will come to vote in person. The others requested ballot paper. Some artists are not in town and a few could not make it to the polling day. All of them wanted a postal ballot. Paruchuri Brothers and others also wished for the same. So, I wrote a letter requesting the same from the election commissioner. I also told the artists to give a representation to the election commission over the same. Upon their request, I prepared a format and sent them the same. But, all of them sent the same via courier and I disagree Prakash Raj’s allegation that a single person has brought all the papers,” said Vishnu, adding, “If we go for ballot papers, we can count it any number of times. After my victory, Prakash Raj might allege that I did EVM tampering using my influence. If we opt for ballot papers, Prakash Raj himself can count the votes to declare my victory.”
“The election commission told the MAA artists to pay 500 rupees if they opt for postal ballot. When I was told the same, I came forward to pay 500 rupees on their behalf. I also sought permission from the commission regarding the same. However, the commission later called me to inform me that they are giving time to all the artists to pay the money. They asked me to take my money back and I came to take my money. Everything took place n a transparent manner. Prakash Raj is insulting the seniors.” said Manchu Vishnu.
“The Kannada and Tamil film industries will not entertain Prakash Raj because of which he is creating a drama in our MAA to split all of us,” said Vishnu.
Manchu Vishnu also gave a strong warning to Prakash Raj to not bring the names of his father, sister, or brother. “Don’t drag ‘Manchu Family’ into this and instead use my name,” said the actor.
The election will take place on 10th October.
