The way Yuvaratna-turned-hope of Telugu Desam Nandamuri Balakrishna and his sister Daggubati Purandareshwari are expressing their willingness to contest against each other, is giving an impression that both are enacting a big drama.Balakrishna has made the statement because he has to make some sensational news. He is more interested in contesting Assembly elections, whereas Purandareshwari wants to contest again as an MP.
So, they have no clash of interests. But, it would always be interesting for the media to highlight the contest between sister and brother and they can make a big news.
Political observers, however, say it is all drama. In 1982 elections, the then Congress leader N Chandrababu Naidu, too, challenged to contest against his father-in-law and TD founder N T Rama Rao, but after the elections, he somersaulted into the TD. Who knows, Purandareshwari, too, might jump into the TD, if Balaiah becomes the Chief Minister!
