Controversial activist and actor Shivaji began a political storm by saying nearly 10 per cent of officials were plotting against the Chandrababu Naidu government in AP. His comments relate to the ‘dotted lands’ and also ‘water tank lands’. In the name of these lands, officials including some District Collectors were harassing the public. This is being done as part of a larger conspiracy to tarnish and make CBN unpopular among the people ahead of 2019 election.

Shivaji said in this respect these officials were not even listening to CM Naidu nor the Ministers which is proof of their anti-TDP activities. The actor said these officials were deliberately creating problems for land owners though they knew well that those lands were regularised by the East India Company itself.

Demanding immediate resolution of these issues, Shivaji said he would go on a fast unto death protest if the officials do not act before Sankranti festival. He said there is a bigger conspiracy to provoke farmers to revolt against the government and work for its defeat. Shivaji advised these officials to quit the government service and join the opposition parties which is a better choice considering their mindsets.
