Face 2 Face : Shabbir to Jr NTR


The state minister for power, Mr Md Ali Shabbir, on Monday asked TD campaigner Junior NTR to first secure marital status for his mother, Ms Shalini, before talking about social justice in the state.

Addressing a media conference, Mr Shabbir said though Mr Harikrishna, son of the late N.T. Rama Rao, is continuing his relationship with Ms Shalini, she has not been recognised by NTR’s family members yet.

He recalled his commenting on actor Pavan Kalyan’s relationship with Ms Renu Desai. He said he had then pointed out that Pavan, brother of the Praja Rajyam chief Chiranjeevi, had not married Ms Desai even after procuring divorce from his first wife. The minister said Pavan realised the mistake and married Ms Desai. Mr Ali asked Junior NTR to put pressure on his father Mr Harikrishna to see that Ms Shalini gets marital status.

Mr Ali ridiculed the Telugu Desam chief, Mr Chandrababu Naidu’s announcement of 12-hour of free power to all farmers in the state at daytime. He asked why had Mr Naidu supplied power for just seven hours — that too with charges — during his tenure. The power minister accused the former chief minister of booking cases against almost one lakh farmers in the state during his rule.
