The unveiling of NTR’s statue at Parliament premises scheduled for 7th May has again triggered controversy as TDP president Chandrababu Naidu and widow of NTR Lakshmi Parvathi have not received any invitation letters from speaker Meera Kumar. While, TDP is still maintaining silence on this sensitive issue, Lakshmi Parvathi hits media condemning Union minister D.Purandeswari and the Speaker Meera Kumar for ignoring her.

She said “Purandeswari and Meera Kumar do not deserve to be in their posts as they both do not know how to respect the wife of late NTR. Particularly, I blame Purandeswari for this fault. She simply ignores me, who stands in her mother’s position. She has intentionally avoids sending invitation letter to me. Even if she invites me now, I am not going to attend the function. I will write letters to Sonia Gandhi, Purandeswari and to Meera Kumar condemning their negligence in this regard. Since, I don’t want to disturb the function I will not attend it now, but I will go there in a later period to garland my husband’s statue. Then, I will stage a protest before the statue.”
