Additionally, he has also been appointed as the president of the Telugu Film and TV Dancers and Dance Directors Association (TFTDDA).

President of the Telugu Film and TV Dancers and Dance Directors Association (TFTDDA), Jani Master, said, “Here I am speaking as the president of this association and not as a person related to any party or region.”
Will leave industry, if allegations are true, Jani master
Regarding the issue with Satish, Jani Master said that Sathish was fined Rs. One lakhs as he violated rules of their association. “If Satish had written a letter admitting his mistake, they would have forgiven it considering it as a first offence and let it go without imposing a fine. Instead he went all rogue and used words that are unacceptable. Some people were threatened too and so I wanted to address this. Hence, I called this press conference. Satish released a video with baseless statements. If even one of the allegations is true, I will leave the industry.”
Allegations & rumours circulating on me are completely baseless. As you’ve known me all these years, I request the media & public to not believe in the unethical sources that are hell-bent to derogate my name personally. As the President of 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐮𝐠𝐮 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐦 & 𝐓𝐕… pic.twitter.com/bdmyoD9wF2

Further, General Secretary Srinu Devara said, “We are an association with a history of 33 years. We have rules, regulations, and bylaws. The bylaws specify what to do if any member of the organization commits wrongdoing. One of our members, Satish, went against the rules and spoke rudely against the President using cuss words. He filed a police complaint, something that had never happened before. We speak to the office bearers and find a way to solve problems, if any. That is our union’s practice. No one had filed a complaint against this before. Satish violated many such rules that include using foul language. Later, when he was called to the committee, he admitted that he had made a mistake. Those who commit such acts are fined and required to work again. But he did not agree to that. The bylaws passed by the Jani Master Committee did not make any changes. We are following what was in place before that.”

HYDRA should actively address all issues faced by Hyderabad’s citizens, including preserving the city’s tanks and ponds, protecting government properties from encroachments, and managing hoardings and flex banners. Additionally, HYDRA will oversee water pipelines, electricity supply lines, drainage, flood management, and traffic control.
