. Later, an active controversy ensues within the party to decide the next leader. Home Minister Venkatadri Naidu receives congratulations from his party members to gain power. However, the high command announces a dynamic youth, Pratap Reddy, as the candidate. Despite Venkatadri Naidu being the most corrupt and involved in several scams, he reluctantly accepts the status quo and waits for an opportunity to topple the government. Meanwhile, the CM implements revolutionary changes that anger Venkatadri Naidu's ego. Parallelly, Krishna, a hawala broker who handles illegal accounts for Venkatadri Naidu, remains loyal to him. He leads a contented life with his beloved wife and daughter. However, CBI Officers arrest Krishna's associate for money laundering, which assassinates several investigating the crime. Subsequently, Venkatadri Naidu plots and frames the CM concerning the incidents. As a result, a major political upheaval takes place, intending to oust the CM. Enter CBI Officer Ashok, who changes the course of events. Krishna always contacts Venkatadri Naidu using public telephones to avoid being tapped. One day, after their conversation, Krishna receives a call from Ashok, who threatens him by pointing a rifle at him out of sight. In a bid to create chaos and confusion, Ashok fires shots on Krishna's behalf, attracting the attention of the police and media. Ashok then demands to uncover the true nature of corrupt politicians, which Krishna initially denies. Meanwhile, Venkatadri Naidu plans to eliminate Krishna & his family, fearing that he may expose the truth. Ashok protects them, prompting Krishna to reflect on Venkatadri Naidu's wickedness and the CM's integrity. Krishna publicly reveals Venkatadri Naidu's misdeeds and expresses gratitude to Ashok. Eventually, the corrupt politicians are apprehended, and the CM acknowledges Ashok's contributions. The movie concludes with Ashok saluting the nation.
