Telugu Desam Party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu belongs to a family of film stars. He is the son-in-law of legendary actor N T Rama Rao and brother-in-law of NTR’s son and senior actor Nandamuri Balakrishna.
Unfortunately, Naidu has not been able to get any support from the film industry nor are any film stars coming forward to campaign for the TDP in the present elections in the AP.
On the other hand, several film stars are joining the YSR Congress party headed by Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, who neither has any connections with film industry nor is he so glamorous face to attract the stars.
Starting from Posani Krishna Murali to Pruthviraj, Jagan got unexpected support from several film actors.
Mohan Babu, Manchu Vishnu, Ali, Raja Ravindra, Shivaji Raja, Jeevitha, Rajasekhar, Hema and many other actors of Telugu film industry have expressed solidarity with Jagan. The star-studded campaign has definitely been helping Jagan in a big way.
Naturally, Naidu is feeling jealous of Jagan’s popularity. Having failed to find any reasoning for the actors making a beeline to the YSRC, Naidu attributed it to the threats from Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
He alleged that the film stars are compelled to join the YSRC as they had been facing severe threats from KCR.
Since the Telugu film industry is mostly based in Hyderabad, the Telangana chief minister is intimidating them and bringing pressure on them to join the YSR Congress party, he alleged.
Any takers for this argument?
