NTR Party and NTR Fans Party rumours are once again making headlines in Andhra Pradesh politics. The controversy began after an alleged phone call by TDP Anantapur MLA Daggupati Prasad abusing Junior NTR created a storm and added tension within the party.
The TDP has long faced friction with Junior NTR’s camp, and this incident has only deepened the divide. Recently, several District Presidents of NTR Fans Associations held a press meet in Hyderabad demanding a public apology from the MLA, warning of consequences if ignored.
Even though there was anger, most fan leaders maintained restraint. They kept the issue limited to the MLA instead of attacking the government. One even said that both the fans and their hero NTR belong to the Telugu Desam Party, showing continued loyalty.
Meanwhile, Sakshi and Blue Media were accused of using the controversy to create divisions within the TDP. They gave extensive coverage and published speculative reports, including claims that Junior NTR might launch his own political party or that his fans may float one.
Such reports have no truth. NTR is clear about his priorities and will not start a political party while at the peak of his film career. As for a fans party, it remains nothing more than political imagination and wishful thinking.
After Sharmila launched her own party before later joining Congress, YSR Congress seems to be encouraging similar rumours against Chandrababu Naidu. These stories about NTR’s political entry are simply creative spins with no real basis.
In reality, this controversy should remain a personal issue between Daggupati Prasad and NTR. The government has shown no bias against NTR, which is clear from permissions granted for hikes and special shows for films like Devara and War 2. The top leadership of the TDP is not connected to this dispute.
