With Balakrishna warning before the media that NTR should face the consequences if he doesn't comment or react on the use of his photos and senior NTR's photos in the flexis set up by YSRC, young NTR's his family members are plunging into action for giving suitable response.
Young NTR's father and son of legendary NTR, Nandamuri Harikrishna has come before the media and spoke out his heart over NTR flexi row. Harikrishna has expressed his grief over the statements that were aimed at his son young NTR. He said one should try and protect the party but shouldn't make severe commments.
Reacting on whether to use senior NTR's photos by opposition parties or not, Harikrishna has said that NTR was one person who was looked upon as God by scores. He said NTR was poor people's man and therefore any admirer of NTR can use NTR's photograph.
Also, he questioned why should his family suffer for an action done by some unknown person. Earlier, NTR's daughter Purandareshwari has said that NTR was a person who lives in Telugu people's hearts and therefore anyone can use his photo.
It has to be mentioned here that NTR had formed the present Telugu Desam Party in 1982 but then it went into the hands of Chandrababu Naidu against the wishes of its founder when he was alive. In fact, there's even an interview wherein NTR expressed his grief over what Chandrababu Naidu has done to him (find the video below). The observers said that any person who loves NTR and looks upon him as next to God has every right to seek explanation as to why Chandrababu Naidu had hurt legendary Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao alias Ramanna. So, they even have the right to use NTR's photograph just like how many people use Bhagat Singh and other favourite personalities' photos, added observers.
All in all, it looks like flexi war is apparently creating tension amongst TDP cadre. How TDP tackles this issue is a million dollar question!
