What is Ayurvedic Vaidya Krishnapatnam Anandaiah’s biggest problem these days? Not the iCMR, not even the Ayush. Even the so-called rationalists and the Lok Ayukta are a problem. The real problem is politicians. The excessive interest shown in Anandaiah is actually turning out to be a huge problem for him.
Anandaiah has been practicing herbal medicine for decades and everyone in the neighbourhood know his service activity. He helped cure many health issues in the region. But now that the Corona issue came up and the media attention is focused on him, he has a huge problem what will politicians of all hues and shades rushing to him. YSRCP MLA Kakani Govardhan Reddy is a good friend of Anandaiah and both follow the same guru. So, Kakani Govardhan Reddy defending him is not a big issue. But, leaders like Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy, CPI’s Narayana and BJP’s Somu Veerraju have descended on to Krishnapatnam to meet him. His precious time is being lost in the process.
What more? The competition between the politicians and the heated political blame-game are taking their toll on Anandaiah. Every politician is now trying to grab attention of the media by using Anandaiah’s name. Sources close to Anandaiah say that he is fed up with the political attention he is getting.
