Ratha Yatra ki Balayya's 'Drinking' Affecting


It is not even a week since Yuvaratna Nandamuri Balakrishna launched his "ratha yatra" from Anantapur district.

And Balaiah already looks exhausted. His voice has collapsed and the punch in his dialogues has gone missing. He is not able to speak continuously for five minutes and within that short time, he is literally searching for words. He is just waving to the crowds and thumping his thighs, but he is not able to speak cohesively.

People are comparing him with his father N T Rama Rao. For that matter, NTR never looked exhausted. He used to take all precautions to save his voice; he was mentally and physically fit because of his regular exercises and yoga. He never used to consume liquor, unlike Balaiah. And he could tour the entire State without any halt. That's how, he could win the hearts of the people, without gaining any media publicity!
