Balayya’s rise worries Babu

Hero Balakrishna is now taking a lot of interest in the affairs of the Telugu Desam. He is also slowly emerging as an alternative power centre in the TDP. This has not gone don ell with the party chief Chandra Babu Naidu.
Babu was the one who cajoled and convinced Balakrishna to take an active interest in politics. Now the same Balayya is seen as a likely threat to Babu in the TDP, if not now then some time in future. Many senior leaders including some MLAs are now flocking to Balayya and seeking his help and guidance. Some are also lobbying with Balayya for part tickets. Balayya’s rise and the party is causing a lot of tension and headache to Babu.
