Jr NTR branded as cunning relative

Babu Gogineni, the outspoken activist and former Bigg Boss contestant, has sparked controversy with a scathing tweet directed at Jr. NTR, questioning the actor's recent congratulatory message to Chandrababu Naidu following the AP Assembly election results.

NTR had retweeted Chandrababu's post, calling him his "beloved uncle" and praising his achievements.  However, Gogineni countered this with a pointed critique, accusing NTR of hypocrisy. He pointed out that NTR had remained silent when the then Chief Minister renamed a medical university founded by his grandfather, in honor of his own father.  Gogineni's tweet, which referred to NTR as a "thief,"  has gone viral, igniting a heated debate on social media.

NTR's fans have defended him, arguing that Gogineni is misinterpreting the actor's actions.  They emphasize that NTR's relationship with the TDP leaders is a personal one, unrelated to politics.  They also point out that former CM YS Jaganmohan Reddy didn't congratulate NTR on his recent film success, highlighting the difference in political allegiances.

However, Gogineni's tweet has brought to light the complexities of celebrity endorsements and political affiliations.  It raises questions about the line between personal relationships and political stances, particularly in a state like Andhra Pradesh where cinema and politics are deeply intertwined. The controversy surrounding NTR's tweet serves as a reminder that even a simple congratulatory message can spark heated debate and raise critical questions about the role of celebrities in a political landscape.
