FORMER CM OF AP, CHANDRA BABU NAIDU CRYING ON NATIONAL TELEVISION

 FORMER CM OF AP, CHANDRA BABU NAIDU CRYING ON NATIONAL TELEVISION:

1. I came across this news item first on the internet yesterday, and then watched reports on TV.

2. I am not aware of the exact background of hostilities between the MLA whose comments in the legislative assembly irked CBN so much, that CBN burst into tears at a press conference later.

3. I do not know the YSRCP MLA whose comments offended CBN, though he might have been a part of the many groups and delegations that used to visit us to discuss politics and policies when my father was an INC MP (and later, INC minister, but joined CBN's TDP in 2019), and the MLA in question was originally in the INC and holds a law degree, and I was an INC party worker and ideologue (both of which I continue to be).

4. I watched a video clip of the Telugu speech made by the YSRCP MLA in the AP assembly yesterday. Although there seemed to be nothing unparliamentary on the face of it in the video clip I watched, I want to know if there were any other implied contextual things that were communicated during the speech, including via facial expressions, that might have specifically offended the Ex-CM, CBN.

5. I ask, because I am very surprised at the teary outburst displayed before the media.

6. I do not know the exact facts of the case, such as what allegations were being made etc., except that it also involved CBN's wife, the daughter of the Late Great CM of AP, NTR, and would like to hear from various people in the state about this incident.

7. As you know, I am an INC member (now Member, AICC, and INC LS candidate in 2019, and VP, APCC 2020-21).

8. I am not a party spokesperson, but we all know that you cannot rule out the possibility of a central government in the future, which could be INC-led, and be supported by all parties who claim to be secular.
