Tirupati: Filmstar Balakrishna’s supporters blamed the scorching sun while TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu held the district unit responsible for the not so good turnout at the former’s roadshows.
Locals say Balaiah is not Jr NTR. Whatever the reasons, Balaiah’s roadshows in Naidu’s home district of Chittoor have come a cropper with a poor turnout at the various places since Monday.
Naidu is said to have monitored Balaiah’s roadshows on a minute-tominute basis and reportedly took to task the district leaders for failing to mobilize crowds in Satyavedu, Nagari, Puttur, Chandragiri and Piler constituencies.
What is worrying for Naidu is that some survey reports do not paint a rosy picture for the TDP in Chittoor district. However, Balaiah supporters as well as some local leaders are putting the blame on the scorching heat, almost touching 45 degrees Celsius in many parts of the district. “The response to Balaiah was very good till a few days ago. It has not been that good only because of the high temperature,” said one loyalist.
