Plot

[edit]

Siddharth Reddy gets posted as the DC for Palnadu district to conduct elections peacefully, but faces opposition from Rajappa, a corrupt politician who terrorizes the people in the district. Siddharth learns that his love interest Swathi wanted to exact vengeance on Rajappa as her brother, who was the former DC, was killed when he contested against Rajappa. After learning this, Siddharth challenges Rajappa that the election will be held peacefully and Swathi's grandfather Raghavaiah contests in the elections. A cat-and-mouse game ensues between Siddharth and Rajappa, where Raghavaiah wins the election and Siddharth ends Rajappa's fear in the district, thus leading Rajappa to commit suicide.
