NTR was a nationalist but not a casteist, the TDP is not really a Kamma party
Both as an actor and a politician, NTR has left a deep imprint. His body of work in Telugu films will remain a great cultural achievement for times to come.
Hyderabad: In a second part of the interview with Sriram Karri, author of a new biography of late N. T. Rama Rao, ‘Maverick Messaiah’, Ramesh Kandula says though driven by Telugu pride, NTR was a nationalist but not a casteist, the TDP is not really a Kamma party and despite the challenges the party is facing in AP, Telugu Desam will survive the YSRCP onslaught and the BJP won’t grow in Andhra in a meteoric manner like in Telangana.
