The unusual silence of young hero N T Rama Rao over the flexi-banner erected by YSR Congress party leaders in Vijayawada has baffled many political observers, besides causing confusion among the Telugu Desam Party workers.The banner, put up by Perni Nani-Chitikena Yuva Sena comprised NTR’s picture along with that of YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, rebel TDP MLA Kodali Nani and other YSR Congress party leaders, has created ripples in the political circles. Everybody expected that there would be strong protests from at least NTR fans associations, if not from NTR himself. But surprisingly, there was no reaction from any of them.
This has raised suspicions among the local TDP circles as to whether NTR is really inclining towards the YSR Congress party. When his close aide Kodali Nani quit the TDP and joined the Jagan camp, NTR quickly called a press meet and announced that he was cutting his links with Nani by all means and that he had no connection to the defection. He also kept himself away from the meeting of his close friend and TDP leader Vallabhaneni Vamsi with Jaganmohan Reddy.
But now, NTR remained unusually silent, raising a lot of hush talk. However, NTR might have thought it would be below his dignity to talk about every small political development that was taking place without his knowledge.
“After all, there is no need for him to prove his loyalty to the TDP every time when the detractors play some trick,” a TDP leader argued.
