After All Rajni Is An Actor: Lakshmi Parvati

YCP leader and NTR’s second wife Lakshmi Parvathi said her husband would turn in his grave hearing to film actor Rajnikanth praises on TDP supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu. She said that Naidu backstabbed his own father-in-law by orchestrating a coup against him, conveniently forgetting that NTR had given him political entry and elevated him as an MLA. There is a need to find out the unethical relation between Chandrababu and actor Rajni, she said.

At the same time, she termed Rajnikanth as a coward who had deceived people by making a promise to float a political outfit but failing to do so. Instead, he silently got admitted in a hospital right on the same day when he planned to launch the party, she reminded. What work does Rajni have to come to Andhra Pradesh and praise Naidu? After all, we should not forget that Rajni is an actor, she pointed out.

Even Chandrababu is a coward who makes tall claims and uses media to his advantage. Rajni does not know politics but he praises Chandrababu as a visionary. In fact, NTR is a visionary who introduced the Rs 2 kg a rice, completed the Somasila project, opened women university in Tirupati, provided reservation to women in ZPs. Similarly, YSR is also a visionary who introduced Aarogyasri and fee reimbursement scheme. Coming to his son and Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, he is another visionary having many welfare schemes to his credit.

Is Chandrababu a visionary? He only looted the public to flourish in his life. He stashed crores of rupees in foreign banks and is power hungry, she said.

“Even when backstabbing NTR, Mohan Babu called Rajnikanth to make him abuse me but they forgot that abusing me is akin to abusing NTR. Birds of the same feather flock together. People know the betrayal of Chandrababu Naidu and they know the way he treated his father-in-law who was equal to his father.”

“Now again, Rajni has come to help Chandrababu understanding that he and his party are on the verge of getting wiped out in Andhra Pradesh. Will people in Andhra Pradesh believe in the words of both these old people – Chandrababu and Rajni? They are quite intelligent and can understand what is going on. Rajnikanth tried to get close to the BJP through his party and it could be that Naidu is trying to inch towards the BJP through Rajni, she pointed out.

During the Hotel Viceroy episode, Rajni called me ‘Dushtashakti’ and political leaders in Tamil Nadu took exception to these remarks. Soon, he came to me and tendered apology and at that time, NTR was also alive. He also told Rajni to speak only after knowing the truth, she said.
