Nene Raju Nene Mantri

Radha becomes pregnant and the couple is overjoyed. They go to the temple to pray for the baby's well-being, and Radha lights a holy lamp. A tragedy follows when Sarpanch's wife sees the lamp and, furious at being eclipsed, pushes Radha down the temple stairs, causing a miscarriage. The couple is devastated by the loss.

Jogendra visits the Sarpanch's house and secures his support to join the political campaign. The arrangement angers the Sarpanch, who tries to kill him. In a confrontation, Jogendra shoots Sarpanch after he mentions harming Radha, signaling his ruthless entry into politics.

Hema Chander, the policeman assigned to provide an FIR copy, demands Rs 5 million for his sister's marriage. Jogendra refuses the bribe, then disarms Hema Chander and shoots his hands, blaming the officer. The incident deepens Jogendra's control and places him on a path of corruption.

MLA Choudappa, an ally, demands Rs 1 crore and takes away the FIR copy for himself. He pressures Jogendra to send Radha to his guest house, but Jogendra shoots Choudappa when the demand becomes unbearable. This murder cements Jogendra's willingness to eliminate threats.

Jogendra enters the MLA race and defeats Choudappa's brother, who is framed for killing his own brother to win. He also persuades Choudappa's wife to back him, using sympathy as a political weapon. The victory marks a ruthless ascent to power.

Now an MLA, Jogendra expands his influence by investing in transport, liquor shops, institutions, and hospitals. He dreams of ministerial power and begins orchestrating moves to secure a higher post, including courting trouble with student activism and the party leadership.

A student, whose job he once recommended, faces rejection from a state ministry due to political maneuvering. Jogendra supports the student union and triggers a hunger strike to press the CM for a minister post. The CM ultimately rejects the offer, prompting further schemes.

Jogendra visits Home Minister Subbarayudu and convinces him to mix poison in the nimbu pani intended for the CM. Subbarayudu agrees to the plan, hoping to gain power and influence. The plot demonstrates Jogendra's willingness to use crime to climb higher.

When the CM arrives to drink the poison-laced nimbu pani, Jogendra exposes the trap, and Subbarayudu is arrested. The CM then honors Jogendra with the Sanskritik Shakha ministry, which Jogendra declines in favor of demanding the Home Ministry.

Devika Rani, a journalist from the opposition, begins digging into Jogendra's past and uncovers evidence that could implicate him. She gathers material and prepares to broadcast it on her channel, threatening his carefully built image. The investigation marks the turn from political ascent to looming exposure.

Jogendra seduces Devika, and they begin an affair. He maintains outward love for Radha while using the liaison to uncover more about his enemies. The relationship becomes a tool in his broader political games and personal manipulation.

Devika, aided by Subbarayudu who is now out on bail, broadcasts Jogendra's illegal activities to the public. Jogendra's carefully built empire starts to crumble as more crimes and schemes come to light, turning public opinion against him. The once-mighty politician faces the unraveling of his life.

Shiva, a close associate, is killed by Jogendra in a rage sparked by a false video planted by Subbarayudu. Jogendra later regrets killing him. Shiva's brother plants a bomb on a route, injuring Radha as Jogendra struggles to protect her from the web of enemies.

Radha sacrifices her life so Jogendra can gain sympathy and secure his party's electoral victory. On a day when MLAs and ministers gather, a bomb explodes, killing many in what appears to be a final act of political violence orchestrated by Jogendra. The carnage seals his transformation into a feared figure.

In the present, Jogendra sits in jail giving an interview as public opinion swells in his favor and calls for his release. The President cancels his hanging, and a last televised moment has Jogendra urging voters to choose a righteous leader. He proclaims himself as Radha Jogendra, then hangs himself; the credits hint at a reunion with Radha in heaven.
