Last time, Power Star Pawan Kalyan was the star campaigner for Telugu Desam Party which won the elections defeating YS Jagan’s YSRCP. This time, Pawan Kalyan’s Jnasena Party is also contesting the polls. So, TDP has no big star campaigners this time, with no popular star is not willing to campaign for any party in the state.
Interestingly, neither Chandra Babu Naidu nor any other leader from TDP asked Young Tiger NTR to campaign for the party for the coming elections. NTR didn’t even campaign for his sister Suhasini who contested from Kukatpally constituency on TDP ticket. He wished his best on Twitter for Suhasini’s entry into the public service but didn't extend any support for the TDP.
Earlier, NTR campaigned extensively for TDP in 2009 elections. While the party lost the elections, NTR chose to stay away from the political scene owing to some differences that cropped up between him and TDP.
Surprisingly, NTR’s father-in-law Narne Srinivasa Rao joined the YSR Congress party and announced his support for the party. However, speculations are rife that all is not well between NTR and his uncle.
NTR was never seen in attendance at the TDP activities post the 2009 election campaign. The actor who is currently busy shooting for Rajamouli’s multi starrer RRR feels happy for not getting any invitation from CBN and Balakrishna as he wants to stay away from the political scene for few more years.
