The recent decision of AP Government to rename NTR Medical University into YSR Medical University has snowballed into a massive controversy. While the political war of words is on between TDP and YCP, Jr NTR’s statement on this issue has also become a center of controversy and NTR fans have jumped into the fray.
In a tweet, Jr NTR said, “Both NTR and YSR are great leaders who have gained immense popularity. The respect brought by replacing one’s name with another’s does not raise the stature of YSR, nor does it lower the stature of NTR. Renaming the university cannot erase the fame NTR earned, his stature in the history of the Telugu states, and his memories in the hearts of the Telugu people.”
TDP cadre and certain sections of media felt that this was a pretty cold statement made diplomatically. They felt this statement of comparing NTR and YSR was insulting to the TDP founder. News channels like ABN, Mahaa News and TV5 ran special programs on this issue and cornered Jr. NTR for his weak statement. These programs even made some personal statements targeting Jr. NTR which has angered his fans.
Even Nandamuri fans are now divided into two. Jr. NTR fans started trending to counter-attack the TV channels with the hashtag BoycottABNandMahaaNews
