Vaishnavite seer Sri Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swami has been roundly condemned in TV debates for the past 24 hours or so. In the past, he made remarks against the tribal goddesses Sammakka and Saralamma. A tribal outfit has filed a police complaint against the Hindu seer in Dummagudem police station in Kotthagudem district.

Today, appearing on a TV channel, Tollywood producer C Ashwini Dutt has attacked Swami and described him as a vedhava or a stupid person. "It's a waste of time to even talk about him. I am telling you very frankly. He is facing a lot of allegations. TDP MLAs and MLCs tried to get him meet with Chandrababu Naidu garu. But he refused," Dutt said.

Dutt, whose Vyjayanthi Movies is these days producing Prabhas' 'Project K', accused Swami of selling black tickets in the past.

He also referred to a recent incident where the saint allegedly refused to engage with TDP MLAs and TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu despite requests.
