In a dramatic turn of events, Dayakar staged a dharna at the Ambedkar Chowrasta, asserting that he possessed call records and evidence of the transaction involving the payment to the MLA’s son. He demanded that immediate return of the sum and threatened further action if his money was not refunded promptly causing much embarrassment and anxiety to MLA Seethakka who is contesting as the Congress candidate from the Mulugu Assembly segment.

Dayakar also said the lack of selection in the scheme not only impacted him financially but also led to family disputes, straining his personal life with his wife. He claimed that he handed over the amount about eight months ago, expecting to be included among the beneficiaries who receive Rs.10 lakh in aid through the scheme.
