Remember former DGP Swarnajit Sen? This swashbuckling and good-looking DGP was known for his cool demeanors and also controversies. His wife Anitha was accused in child trafficking related cases and he himself was in the dock for openly participating in missionary activities. But, he went off the radar once he retired and maintained an unusually low profile.
But, he is back in the news once again. This time around, there are rumours that Swarnajit Sen would join politics. The buzz is that he is in touch with YS Sharmila and could join her to-be-named party. But some sections of Sharmila’s party are concerned over this development. They are worried because Swarnajit was controversial for his his overt show of religion. There are instances when he down to Rajahmundry to attend evangelical meets. There are also rumours that a cop was shunted out for not “doing enough” during the unofficial visit. They feel that his presence in the party would only serve to highlight Sharmila’s Christian background.
Sharmila is claiming that she would contest from Paleru as that is her in-laws place. Her husband Anil Kumar is also a Christian evangelist. Will all these divert the attention from the issues she is raising? Let’s wait and see how things unfold.
