Tollywood superstar Jr. NTR has become a target for the TDP and its pro-party media, causing unrest within the party ranks.
Despite his active involvement with the TDP during the 2009 elections, where he campaigned despite being injured in a road accident, Jr. NTR has largely distanced himself from politics since then.
However, controversies surrounding his absence from events like Mahanadu have reignited discussions about his relationship with the Nandamuri family.
Speculations are rife about efforts to sideline Jr. NTR to pave the way for Lokesh as the TDP's successor.
TDP leader Buddha Venkanna's recent remarks questioning Jr. NTR's relationship with the party have further fueled these speculations.
Some party members believe that only Jr. NTR can effectively lead the TDP after Chandrababu, while others advocate for Lokesh's leadership.
There are rumors that Lokesh might have influenced Buddha Venkanna to make such remarks. The debate intensifies as some push for Lokesh's presidency within the TDP.
Many within the party believe that Chandrababu and Lokesh fear Jr. NTR's potential acceptance by other party members in the near future, prompting them to create barriers between him and the party now.
