It has been nearly two and a half months since noted industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad has been arrested in the alleged illegal assets case of YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, being probe into by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
His arrest has disturbed the entire industrial climate in the state. Several VIPs and well-wishers called on him at the jail and extended their solidarity with him. Even top film stars like Akkineni Nagarjua, Mohan Babu and Vishnu called on Nimmagadda in the Chanchalguda jail. In fact, Nagarjuna went to jail for the second time on Friday, because he is a partner to Nimmagadda, while Mohan Babu described his arrest as the most unfortunate development in the industrial sector.
However, one person who did not visit Chanchalguda jail to call on Nimmagadda was megastar-turned-Congress MP Chiranjeevi. Everybody knows Chiranjeevi was a business partner of Nimmagadda Prasad in Maa TV. Though there were reports that Chiranjeevi had withdrawn from Maa TV network, he is said to be still having a minor stake in the network. If not as a Congress leader, Chiranjeevi should have called on Nimmagadda at a personal level. May be he thought he might have to face Jaganmohan Reddy in the jail.
