Senior actor and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna’s fiery outburst in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Thursday has become a hot topic in political circles, continuing to dominate discussions even on Friday.
Observers are questioning why Balakrishna, who seldom attends Assembly sessions, chose this moment for such a scathing attack that ended up embarrassing his own party leadership.
According to insiders, the target of his anger was none other than his brother-in-law and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. Balakrishna is reportedly upset over being sidelined within the party and government. Despite being a star campaigner and a three-time MLA, he has only been given a nominal position in the politburo, with no ministerial berth or key organisational role — a long-standing source of resentment.
The TDP leadership was said to be embarrassed by his behaviour in the Assembly, especially when he openly questioned why his name was placed ninth on the schedule to meet the Chief Minister. His comments gave rise to speculation that he was deeply dissatisfied with the way senior leaders were being treated.
What truly grabbed headlines, however, were his scathing remarks against YSR Congress Party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, whom he called a “psycho.” While TDP leaders — including Naidu — have used similar language during campaigns, Balakrishna’s choice of words inside the Assembly created bigger ripples.
He also criticised Chiranjeevi for being “submissive” to Jagan during his tenure as Chief Minister — a criticism not new in TDP circles. Even Pawan Kalyan, Chiranjeevi’s brother, had once accused Jagan of arrogance despite Chiranjeevi approaching him respectfully.
But analysts believe Balakrishna’s outburst this time was more damaging because it not only targeted rivals but also laid bare the simmering discontent within TDP itself. His remarks have highlighted growing friction between him and the party leadership, adding yet another headache for Naidu.
