When Sr NTR had tears in his Eyes?
X
Daggubati Purandeswari was asked if dethroning her father late NT Rama Rao pained her in recent interview. The Former MP replied: 'Dad (NTR) was very particular about obtaining the Lion election symbol for the party. I still have those memories! He was dethroned and insulted. Then, TDP Government didn't allow even though NTR asked them to give an opportunity to speak in Assembly at least once. Even K Roasaiah Told Me, 'Though we were in the Opposition then, We were pained to see NTR with tears in his eyes and keeping his head down'. We never thought Dad will face such a situation in his life'.

How did Purandeswari's entry in Congress happen? At first, Daggubati Venkatwswara Rao joined Congress following differences with TDP Leadership. YS Rajasekhar Reddy invited Purandeswari to join Congress by offering Bapatla MP Ticket. YSR believed Purandeswari would give a tough fight to TDP candidate D Ramanaidu.

Then, Daggubati Venkatwswara Rao suggested YSR to prefer Purandeswari only if the party failed to find a better candidate. The very next day, Newspapers published the report. Thereafter, Purandeswari discussed with her children and sought their assurance on behaving in a responsible manner before giving her consent.
