Is it true that TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu is having a rift with NTR? We don't whether it's true or not but observers are speculating so much over the same. When Andhra Wishesh spoke to many senior journalists and analysts what they observed was that Chandrababu Naidu purportedly sidelined NTR after 2009 elections. It was even told that TDP didn't invite NTR for many of the meetings. And in turn when NTR didn't attend the meeting, party leaders were spreading news that it was NTR who was distancing himself from the party.

The observers even said that NTR has immense following in the public given he's the grandson of legendary NTR and even has features like that legendary politician and actor. So, they said Chandrababu Naidu realized his following and eventually sidelined him only for ensuring that his son Lokesh Naidu has bright future in the party. It is already known the way Lokesh Naidu has been involving in party affairs.

All in all, compared to Lokesh, obviously TDP would have brighter chances of attracting voters if NTR is made the front runner.  Let us wish that Chandrababu realizes the same at least to avoid criticism that he's giving due importance to his son in politics.
