Nandamuri Hari KrishnaFormer Rajya Sabha MP and TDP founder NT Rama Rao’s son, Hari Krishna did not attend the party’s annual conclave even on its second day. Hari Krishna is reportedly hurt over refusing a Rajya Sabha term. Instead, he visited NTR Ghat today on his father’s Jayanthi and paid his respects. He later spoke to media at NTR ghat.

When asked why he did not go to Mahanadu, he stated that it is important for him to pay homage to his father rather than going to Mahanadu. He called for people to fight for Special Status and asked every family in Andhra Pradesh to send at least one member for the agitation.

Hari Krishna skipping Mahanadu is sending wrong signals to the party cadre. A section of TDP fans supporting Junior NTR are upset that Hari Krishna is not treated well in the party. Earlier there were rumours that Hari Krishna may join YSR Congress and get Rajya Sabha berth from Jagan but that did not happen. But this confusion will only add to more issues in the family and the party.
