After high drama, minister Appala Raju goes silent
X
Minister Seediri Appala Raju, who raked up a controversy by abusing a cop on duty, is silent now. He is not available for comments and is studiously avoiding the media attention. He has also not responded to the demand from the AP Police Officers Association that the minister tender an unconditional apology.

The minister lost his cool when his associates were not allowed in through the VIP entry gate during YS Jagan’s recent visit to Vizag. He almost entered into fisticuffs with the cops and said he would beat him up after disrobing him. He even pushed back the cop on duty.

This became a huge controversy and the minister drew flak for his behaviour. The police association took this very seriously and said that the people would teach the minister a lesson that he can never forget. Though it has been a couple of days after the incident the minister has not responded. He did not even issue a written statement.

Appala Raju is a first-time minister and is known to have entered into similar protocol related disputes. Wherever he goes, he is accompanied by a slew of followers. This becomes a huge issue as the police would only allow him and not his followers. In the past too, he created a scene when he tried to take his followers to Jagan, who attended a wedding reception in Srikakulam.
