TL;DR:Actor and MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna is said to be pressing for a Cabinet Minister post in the Andhra Pradesh government, claiming his seniority and massive popularity warrant recognition. 🚨 Sources say his demand has stirred quiet tension within the TDP ranks.
What Happened?
Balakrishna, the TDP MLA from Hindupur, reportedly conveyed to party leadership that he deserves a Cabinet role after decades of loyalty.
The buzz: he’s aiming for a prominent portfolio — possibly related to culture or film affairs.
TDP insiders say Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is treading carefully to avoid internal imbalance.
Flashback / Context
Despite being one of TDP’s strongest crowd-pullers and a two-time MLA, Balakrishna hasn’t been included in the Cabinet so far.
Earlier, his remarks at public meetings sparked controversies, with opposition parties often using them for political trolling.
Now, with Naidu’s government back in power, Balayya reportedly feels it’s “his time.”
Who Gains & Who Loses?
Gains: Balakrishna, if he gets the post, consolidates both political and cine glamour within TDP.
Losses: Younger TDP leaders who might see their chances dim.
Public Reaction: Mixed — fans are thrilled, but critics call it “star power politics.” 🌟
People’s Angle
For youth and fans, the move could be symbolic — showing how cinema still fuels politics in Andhra. 🎥 But it also raises the question: should fame translate into political office?
MediaFx Take
Balakrishna’s ambition is no surprise — it’s legacy meets leverage. 💬 Whether Naidu grants him the ministry or not, this episode shows how Andhra’s politics still runs on star charisma as much as policy.
