Actor Ali facing legal trouble over unapproved construction of farmhouse in Telangana-Telangana Today

Officials of Ekmamidi Gram Panchayat in Nawabpet Mandal have issued a notice to actor-comedian Ali, ordering him to immediately stop construction of his farmhouse. The notice was given by Gram Panchayat Secretary Shobha Rani as the construction was taking place within the Ekmamidi revenue limits.

Hyderabad: A gram panchayat in Telangana’s Vikarabad district has issued a notice to Tollywood actor Ali for allegedly constructing a farmhouse without valid permission.

Officials of Ekmamidi Gram Panchayat in Nawabpet Mandal issued a notice to the actor-comedian, ordering him to immediately stop the construction of the farmhouse.

Gram panchayat secretary Shobha Rani issued the notice to the actor, who took up the construction within Ekmamidi’s income limit.

Ali had already been notified earlier this month to submit the relevant documents to obtain permission to build the farm. The official delivered the notice to farm staff after the actor failed to respond to a notice served on November 5.

The Gram Panchayat Secretary again asked the actor to submit relevant documents and obtain permission for construction. The actor was informed that if he failed to comply with the orders, action would be taken as per the Panchayati Raj Act.

Hailing from neighboring Andhra Pradesh, Ali recently left the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), which he had joined in 2019. The actor, who hails from Rajahmundry, was keen to contest from Rajahmundry or Vijayawada. However, he was not nominated as a party candidate in any constituency. Ali actively campaigned for the YSRCP, which won the 2019 elections. In 2022, the Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government appointed him as advisor on electronic media to the state government. Last year, the actor-comedian had said that if ordered by Jagan Mohan Reddy, he would contest the elections against actor and Jana Sena Party leader Pawan Kalyan. Ali was expecting a YSRCP ticket in the recent elections. But he was disappointed once again.

While the YSRCP suffered a humiliating defeat in the May elections, Ali distanced himself from the party and recently quit the party. There are speculations that he might join the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) or Jana Sena.
