Nara Bhuvaneswari’s Foray Into Public Life: YSRCP On The Backfoot?

In a significant development that could profoundly alter the direction of the state politics, TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu’s wife Nara Bhuvaneswari is now entering into public life. On Monday, she will extend financial support to 48 families, that have been severely impacted by the recent floods in Tirupati.

Many see this as her political entry. The assistance is being given on behalf of the NTR memorial trust, of which Nara Bhuvaneswari is the chairperson. Thought he Trust has been extending several services to the general public, Bhuvaneswari has never come into public life. This is the first time that she is taking part in a programme organised by the Trust.

Analysts feel that this programme is a backlash to the abuse and character assassination that Nara Bhuvaneswari was subjected to in the legislative assembly. This has led to anger among the TDP cadre. Unable to control his emotions, even battle-hardened warrior like Chandrababu Naidu too cried inconsolably. All these will have an impact when Bhuvaneswari meets the 48 families who will be benefited by the Trust’s largesse.

Analysts say one is likely to see her more often in the public life. This move is likely to create a positive impact for the TDP and promote sympathy for the Nara family. They also feel that this sympathy factor might play up against the ruling YSRCP.
