Balakrishna remarks cause ripples in TDP

It is ‘star trouble’ in Telugu Desam Party. It seems heroes from NTR family are causing troubles to party Chief N Chandrababu Naidu. It was Balakrishna, the star campaigner for the party in the next elections, who created embarrassment to Naidu by saying that if people wanted him to become the chief minister, he would become one. This statement caused much discomfiture to TDP leaders. Notwithstanding Balaiah’s assertion, the TDP leaders maintained that Balakrishna was not that ambitious and recalled his statement at Yuva Garjana in Guntur that his aim was to see Naidu as the chief minister. Balakrishna might have talked of Chief Minister’s post only after he was grilled by reporters, they maintained. Speaking to reporters here Thursday, party leader E Dayakar Rao said that there was no doubt that Naidu would become the Chief Minister. Balakrishna too decided to campaign for the party only to make Naidu as Chief Minister. Interestingly, Balakrishna is not member of the TDP though he had been campaigning for the party since NTR launched the party.
