In the midst of a simmering family war in Telugu Desam Party, there is a buzz in political circles that Junior NTR is seething in anger these days. His target is TDP Chief and uncle N Chandrababu Naidu.
The actor has been pouring his heart out among his close circles. He feels that he has been used and cheated by the party leadership.
“Whenever the party needed me, I gave my best. I had participated actively in campaigning. I feel I have been used,” Junior NTR is said to have commented before his close friends.
This portends fresh trouble for Naidu who has perfected the art of “use and throw” in political management. The sources say that Junior NTR has been quite vocal about his dissatisfaction at being ignored in the party set-up.
In a curious development, Junior NTR, along with his close friends and TDP leaders from Vijayawada Vallabhaneni Vamsimohan and Kodali Naani, had a long meeting with his father N Harikrishna. They are believed to have discussed about a joint strategy to neutralize their rival and TDP MLA Devineni Uma Maheswar Rao who is a close confidant of Naidu.
The recent spat between Vamsimohan and Naani on one side and Devineni Uma on the other is seen in political circles as a shadow-boxing between Naidu and his brother-in-law Harikrishna. This led to reports that Harikrishna may revolt against the party leadership in a repeat show of the family drama that shook the regional party in the 1990s.
Harikrishna has an axe to grind with Naidu as he feels that his brother-in-law was systematically sidelining him in the party.
In a bid to embarrass Naidu, Harikrishna is said to be prompting his followers to repeatedly raise the demand for giving Junior NTR a prominent role in the party.
