Recently, CH Ramesh, the Balakrishna Fans’ Association President has demanded TDP (Chandrababu) to handover the party reins to Balakrishna. They blame Chandrababu for using his services and his star image for in party campaigning but not giving his due share of power in the party. It stirs a controversy in the party circles and lead to rumors about they both having differences between them. Media adding fuel to flames reports that Balakrishna has intentionally did not invited Chandrababu to his Legend audio release function held recently.

However, Balakrishna has condemned the reports of having differences with Chandrababu and hushed up the controversy with his explanation. But, it is to be observed that though he condemned the reports about differences with Chandrababu, he did not condemn the demands raised by his fans for his appointment as party President. So, it is evident that he too agrees with their demand or at least is hoping for some key post in the party or an immediate announcement by Chandrababu about his ticket and constituency.

But, Chandrababu may be planning to announce the names of the party candidates once, he strikes poll alliance with BJP soon. However, he may not afford to elevate him as Party President, even after creating two separate branches of the party in near future, because Balakrishna can't dedicate his full time to party due to his obligation of his film profession. So, his fans can think about their demand only if he agrees to retire from his film profession.
