Harikrishna was denied MLA ticket from Hindupur constituency by Chandrababu Naidu and which led the tiffs between CBN and Harikrishna's families. Both Harikrishna and his son Young Tiger NTR stayed away from campaigning for the TDP in the general elections. In fact, there have been no good terms between Nara and Harikrishna families for a long time, as CBN has deliberately kept Harikrishna away from the party's policy making decisions.
It is a known news that the TDP has won the election battle recently. Chandrababu is likely to form the new government very soon. In the meanwhile, Harikrishna has congratulated Chandrababu Naidu on phone while Jr.NTR and Kalyan met Chandrababu today and congratulated on his success. However, those observers who are following all these developments for some days, are saying that it's an indirect defeat of Harikrishna's family to CBN. We need to wait and see which role to be played by NTR and Harikrishna in the TDP.
