The actor turned politician Nandamuri Balakrishna is currently canvassing for the party in Vizianagaram district. Speaking to media he asked the people to chase out former PCC President Botsa Satyanarayana from Vizianagaram district. He said such corrupt leader doesn’t deserve to be elected as people’s representative.”

Replying to a media question, he said “It is completely personal matter about why I have stayed away from the party activities after last elections. So, I need not to answer this question. However, I am back for campaigning for the party and am also contesting elections on party ticket from Hindupur. Party will never ignore the services of its leaders and cadres. When time comes, it will offer them their due share of power in party and government.”

Balakrishna said, “Yes! I am ready to campaign for my sister Purandeswari in her Rajampeta constituency, if party asks me to do so. There is no personal in this matter. It is completely party policy related matter and depends on party decision.”

This is first time that someone in TDP has talked in favor of Purandeswari. Chandrababu argues that each and every seat is precious for both parties, but forced her to contest from such a constituency, where she has no support at all and not even asked his party cadres to extend their support to Purandeswari, despite wanting alliance with BJP. Now, even though Balakrishna is willing to help her, he also needs Chandrababu permission for it.
