K V P Ramachandra Rao in his open letter said TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu did not even hesitate to use the NTR family members to serve his personal political interests.

Referring to NTR and his agonizing last days, KVP said Naidu virtually turned his illustrious father-in-law into a ‘dead-vegetable’. He also gave a detailed account of the infamous August coup through which Naidu dethroned NTR and took over the TDP reins before becoming the chief minister.

He said NTR could not bear his own children being pitted against him by Naidu in his lust for power. The TDP chief even resorted to character assassination of NTR’s second wife Lakshmi Parvathi to make sure that NTR’s kin firmly rallied behind him.
