Actor and Mega family member Nagababu's latest comments are being studied with lot of curiosity by the political analysts. His recent actions show that he is recalibrating his political responses. Earlier, he had given enough indications that he was pro-BJP.
For instance, on the Kathi Mahesh issue, he has come out strongly against him and gave interviews supporting the Hindutwa forces. He also spoke in support of a temple at Ayodhya. He had also shared a video of a foreigner boy chanting Rama strotrams. Later, he also gave a host of interviews to pro-BJP Youtube channels to show his support to the Hindutwa forces.
All that seems to be a thing of past. He now appears to have moved away from the pro-Hindutwa standpoint. Otherwise how would anyone explain his open support to Prakash Raj in the Movie Artstes Association elections? Prakash Raj's opposition to the BJP and Narendra Modi is too well-known. He has time and again criticised Narendra Modi for his ideology and actions. On the Gouri Lankesh issue, he has been a vocal critic of Modi. Despite all these, Nagababu supported him.
The latest indication is that he has made some key comments on the social media on who should be the next president of the country. He said that instead of a wily politician, who plays the game of divide and rule, there should be a sober, well-respected and industrialist icon as the president. He supported the candidature of famous industrialist Ratan Tata. Is he indicating that the BJP is resorting to politics on the issue of choosing the next president? Is Nagababu alone moving away from the BJP or is even Pawan Kalyan is moving away from the BJP?
