Amit Shah-Junior NTR meet sparks off buzz in Telangana political circles

BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah is learnt to have asked popular actor Junior NTR to take the political plunge, a move that if fructified could alter the political equations both in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. According to senior BJP leaders, Shah categorically asked Jr NTR to take a political plunge and asked the latter to "think it over".

Son of former MP late Nandamuri Harikrishna, Jr NTR is the grandson of Telugu movie legend and Telugu Desam Party founder-president Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao. He was once active in the TDP but subsequently fell out after the advent of Chandrababu Naidu's son Nara Lokesh on the political scene.
