It
began as an ego clash within the Telugu Desam Party family, with an
uncle seeking to promote his son-in-law at the cost of his nephew,
before the YSR Congress Party pitched in craftily on behalf of the
nephew.
N Balakrishna, son of TDP founder N T Rama Rao, sees his son-in-law N Lokesh as the emerging face of the party. The other contender is his nephew N T Rama Rao Junior. Balakrishna and NTR Junior are both popular film actors, following in the footsteps of the founder. Lokesh, son of TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu and married to Balakrishna's daughter Brahmani, is an MBA with a much lower profile.
The ego clash includes two subplots. NTR Junior's father, N Harikrishna, is sulking at being upstaged by brother Balakrishna, while Naidu is fond of NTR Junior, although it's his son whom Balakrishna is promoting.
Of late, the YSR Congress has been putting up banners and boards with photos of NTR Junior and his grandfather alongside those of Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and his late father, Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. These have appeared in several cities, upsetting Balakrishna who feels that this calls for an explanation by his nephew. Uncle and nephew are no longer on talking terms.
"As a TDP member he should be careful who he is seen with," says Balakrishna, who also accuses his nephew of making films with political connotations. "NTR Junior should explain why his photo is being used by the YSR Congress when he is a TDP member."
NTR Junior, 29, named after his grandfather whom he closely resembles, is known for punch dialogues and has hundreds of fan clubs that could form a sizeable vote bank. He campaigned for the party in 2009 and though it fared badly, his popularity still makes him a potential future leader in the opinion of many.
