The Telugu Desam Party leader N Chandra Babu Naidu (NCB) known for his administrative skills is also well known for his witty game plan. Most political critics believe that actor and son of the former Chief Minister, N. Balakrishna’s (NBK) entry into politics is a clever ploy to achieve multiple results, by NCB. First and the foremost would be to gain people confidence that the face of the NTR clan is supporting him and so the party loyalists would back his party during the forthcoming elections.

Secondly it would be a sweet revenge for the leader who is facing cold war with the younger and dynamic face of the NTR clan, Junior NTR. As the later had thrown out his son Lokesh from Studio N, after Junior married the channel owner’s daughter. And incidentally Lokesh had married NBK’s daughter Brahmini.  Hence NBK might be party to all decisions taken by NCB.

Thirdly, the transfer of the party’s powers to his son would also not be objected by NBK. But on the contrary to this entirely, if NBK, who enjoys maximum support from the cadre back fires strategically then NCB would be nowhere in the vicinity. So even calculated moves made by the intelligent have their own dangers.
