"TDP is not the party NTR had founded anymore. He was backstabbed and made to step aside by Chandrababu Naidu. The party symbol and the president's post were taken away by Naidu and his cronies," said the late CM's wife.
TDP founder late Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao's wife Lakshmi Parvathi criticized TDP for claiming that NTR is their leader, and that only TDP can use his picture.
"TDP is not the party NTR had founded anymore. He was backstabbed and made to step aside by Chandrababu Naidu. The party symbol and the president's post were taken away by Naidu and his cronies," she said.
"Balakrishna also has no right to speak on the issue, as the coup was carried out by Naidu under his nose. As TDP is now in a difficult situation, it is trying to take advantage of NTR's popularity," she added. (INN)
