The Nandamuri family came together after the sudden demise of Nandamuri Harikrishna. Chandrababu Naidu and Balakrishna fielded Nandamuri Suhasini in Kukatpally. But Jr NTR and Kalyan Ram did not come forward to campaign for their sister. When Tarak wished all the best to his sister via a tweet, TDP (Telugu Desam Party) was hoping that he would support Suhasini but it did not happen. Jr NTR has extensively campaigned for Telugu Desam Party– TDP in 2009 elections but then the cycle party has lost the elections and later on Jr NTR stayed away from the party due to some differences. Jr NTR wants NTR but he doesn’t wants Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
Recently Jr NTR’s father-in-law Narne Srinivasa Rao joined YSR Congress Party. On Thursday, he met party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. During the media interaction, Narne Srinivasa Rao said he joined the YSRCP to strengthen the hands of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and would work for the Party.
NTR’s grandson and son of former Union minister Daggubati Purandeswari joined the YSR Congress Party recently and met YSRCP leader with his father Daggubati Venkateswara Rao, who had a long political innings.
After the completion of 2009 election campaign, Jr NTR never stood prominently and figured out in TDP’s activities. Though Nara Chandrababu Naidu was interested to utilize the services of Jr NTR but he did not support him because he wants only Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR) not TDP.
After 2009 elections, except Jr NTR, other family members, like Nandamuri Balakrishna and Nara Lokesh started to occupy the position in Politics. By 2014 election time Jr NTR failed to jump into the election campaign on behalf of the TDP. He did not campaign for TDP in 2014 election, but his brother Nandamuri Kalyan Ram took an active step by assisting and following his uncle Nandamuri Balakrishna in the election campaign. Finally TDP leaders failed to deal with Jr NTR.
