Nandamuri family unitedly counters ‘insult’ to Nara Bhuvaneswari

YSRCP leader warned of ‘befitting’ reply

The entire Nandamuri family, led by Hindupur MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna, on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the YSR Congress Party leaders, who allegedly ‘insulted’ Nara Bhuvaneshwari, wife of Telugu Desam Party president N. Chandrababu Naidu, and warned them of ‘befitting’ counter/ reply if they tried this yet again.

At a joint press conference at his residence in Hyderabad, Mr. Balakrishna took strong objection to dragging the name of his sister, Ms. Bhuvaneshwari, and making some “unpalatable” comments in the Legislative Assembly on Friday, which he said had emotionally disturbed Mr. Naidu to such an extent for the first time, as the YSRCP leaders resorted to a personal attack on a woman, who was apolitical and never interfered in politics.

Describing the proceedings of the Andhra Pradesh Assembly on Friday, he said it felt like entering a “cow shed”, and blamed the Assembly Speaker for allegedly failing to maintain the decorum of the House by allowing personal character assassination of a woman who was carrying on her own business and never made any political comments. He took objection to the comments made by Dwarapudi Chandrasekhar Reddy, Ambati Rambabu, Kodali Nani, and Vallabhaneni Vamsi, and asked Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to rein in his party leaders.
