As and when Chandrababu was imprisoned, Balakrishna came into the scene to lead the party. However, within no time, he was sent away to Hyderabad and has hardly been seen in Andhra Pradesh politics since.
It is to be noted that there is a secret reason behind this, which has now come to light.
Balakrishna doesn't like Nadendla Manohar, as he is the son of Nadendla Bhaskara Rao, the first backstabber of NTR when the latter was the Chief Minister.
It is known that many among the Kamma community, who worship NTR, boycott the Nadendla family and don't even invite them to their events and functions.
Even to consider "the past is the past" and forget the issue, even now Nadendla Bhaskara Rao has been giving interviews to YouTube channels, speaking about NTR disgracefully, mush to the anger of Nandamuri family.
So, as Balakrishna is not ready to face Nadendla in the situation of a Janasena-TDP alliance, he was sent away to Hyderabad. That's the reason the care was taken to exclude Nadendla Manohar during Pawan Kalyan's announcement of the alliance along with Lokesh and Balakrishna at Rajahmundry Central Prison.
As it is not possible to avoid Manohar all the time beside Pawan Kalyan, the TDP supremo has made the decision to keep Balayya away from the political scene, believing that he is of no use.
Well, the community and Balakrishna dislike the first backstabber of NTR, but they have no complaints about the second backstabber, probably because the latter is their own family member.
