TDP MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna paid a visit to the TDP office in Mangalagiri on Monday.
During his visit, he convened a meeting with the senior party leaders who were present at the office.
Interestingly, the meeting held by Balakrishna coincided with a press conference being conducted by Nara Lokesh in Rajamahendravaram.
Surprisingly, Cherukuri Ramoji Rao and Vemuri Radha Krishna have not given much attention to Balakrishna's meeting with the party leaders in their media outlets.
While Ramoji Rao published a brief article with a photo in Eenadu, there was no mention of Balakrishna's visit to the TDP office in Radha Krishna's Andhra Jyothi newspaper.
In contrast, both media moguls prominently featured Lokesh's press conference in Rajamahendravaram.
This raises questions about whether the so-called "yellow media" is concerned about the Nandamuri family's influence on the party.
Are they primarily interested in safeguarding the TDP with the Nara family or are they genuinely worried about the party's future?
Both Ramoji Rao and Radha Krishna have a history of promoting stories that align with their interests, and it appears they chose to overlook Balakrishna's visit to the party office.
If Balakrishna continues to be actively involved in the party, it might not be too difficult for the Nandamuri family to assert control over the TDP, especially in Naidu's absence.
With Naidu currently in jail, it could be an opportune time for the Nandamuri family to take the reins of the party, as it seems Lokesh may no longer be able to lead effectively.
The question remains: Will Balakrishna step up and lead the party away from the Nara family's influence before Naidu's release from jail?
