Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna, enthusiastically, campaigned in Nandyal constituency recently seeking TDP's victory in the by-polls. But then, can Balayya alone pull it off and would make TDP snatching a breathtaking victory in the poll battle? May or mayn't be!! However, that's not the point here.
Political analysts and observers are envisaging that recent controversies connected with Balakrishna would show considerable impact in Nandyal by-elections.
Balakrishna was given wide coverage in national media for two wrong reasons recently. In both cases he slapped his fans. While in the first case he slapped his assistant for not removing his shoe,, in the other case he gave a tight slap to his fan who wanted to take a selfie with the actor. Besides, Balakrishna's derogatory comments on women and his abuses in other instances have also gone viral some time back.
Even then, Balayya's name couldn't have been connected to the prospects of TDP in Nandyal by-polls.
Nonetheless, TDP's big heads too resorted in controversies like commenting SCs and distributing money openly in public. Obviously, Balakrishna's name also might be inducted by some voters along with TDP's leaders which appears to show its influence in by-polls.
However, Balakrishna's seniority and popularity as a film star are the pros for Balakrishna which may create wonders at the ballot boxes.
