MAA affairs get murkier with resignations galore

MAA affairs get murkier with resignations galore

The Hindu
Tuesday, October 12, 2021 5:17 PM GMT

All 11 winners of Prakash Raj panel step down from their posts

Artistes wept in the open, got emotional, and questioned the morality of the winning team and fairness of the election results while resigning from the Movie Artistes Association (MAA), making the month-long election episode murkier.

All 11 winners from the Prakash Raj panel resigned from their posts, asking the newly-elected president Manchu Vishnu to appoint members of his choice against the vacancies for smooth functioning of the body. Their resignation comes in the wake of Mr. Prakash Raj himself giving up his MAA membership citing certain new ‘local, non-local rules’ coming into effect.

Mr. Prakash Raj described the resignations as a dignified decision to ensure smooth functioning of the association as the two earlier teams proved that a mixed MAA team was found to be indulging more in fighting than solving issues. He also offered to withdraw his resignation as MAA member if the new team promised not to bring in a new law preventing non-Telugus from contesting association elections. However, he did not hide his anger while charging Mr Vishnu’s team of indiscipline, rowdiness and violent behaviour for their resignations.
