Tadipatri (Anantapur): With the announcement of the controversial god-man Prabhodananda Swamy that he would take a plunge into direct politics to take on the mighty JC Brothers, the clashes between the supporters of Swamy and the followers of JC Brothers is now taking a political turn.

It is learnt that Swamy's son Yogananda Chowdary is in touch with the YSRCP.

The YSRCP President was told that they are willing to spend any amount of money to fight the electoral battle.

The Swamy sources say that the JC Brothers were coming in their way for their ashram development and hence they needed a political back up for the ashram's survival.

The Swamy's son had in the past joined BJP with lot of fanfare. The latest talk in the ashram and political circles was their inclination towards the YSRCP.

The Swamy reportedly feels that he needed political support in order to take on the mighty JC Brothers.
