Jr. NTR’s marriage with Lakshmi Pranathy, daughter of industrialist Narne Srinivasa Rao, has reportedly raised curtains for a bitter feud between the Nandamuri and Nara families. The marriage has changed the equations between the two families and resulted in a set of new permutations and combinations.

Reports suggest that TDP leader Nandamuri Hari Krishna and his son Jr.NTR are reportedly having secret consultations with YSR congress leader YS Jaganmohan Reddy as part of their plans to weaken the leadership of Chandrababu Naidu over a period of time.  Jr. NTR, who is nurturing wild political ambitions, is also said to be aiming to take over the mantle of Studio-N TV channel to make it his mouthpiece in future.

Though Chandrababu Naidu attended the marriage of NTR, there were no scenes of Hari Krishna and Naidu sitting or talking together or exchanging pleasantries even for public consumption strengthening the suspicion that the cold war between Hari Krishna and Naidu is far from over.

 

Hari Krishna used Vijayawada TDP leader Vallabhaneni Vamsi as a tool to take on Naidu recently but the former is now unhappy that the latter had simply and unconditionally surrendered to Naidu spoiling his political plans to weaken Naidu’s leadership.

Hari Krishna, who is hell bent on ensuring that Chandrababu would not pass over the mantle of leadership of the TDP to his son Lokesh come what may, has reportedly found a new friend in Jagan and  there are reports  that the father and son duo are in regular touch with Jagan as part of some long term political plans.

Meanwhile, Jr. NTR, now the proud son-in-law of Narne Srinivasa Rao who owns the Studio-N channel, wants to take control of the channel management by gradually sidelining Lokesh who has been handling its operations for a long time.

A father of two children, Srinivasa Rao, who owns properties worth Rs. 600 Cr, has reportedly promised half of his property as dowry to his daughter Lakshmi Pranathy following her wedding with Jr. NTR, with the other half of the property going to his son.

The day may therefore not be far off when Lokesh would have to keep away from the Studio-N channel paving the way for a Jr. NTR man to take over the management. Ironically, it is Chandrababu Naidu who was instrumental in arranging the marriage of Jr.NTR and Lakshmi Pranathy.
