Overview

  • TDP MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna used the term 'psycho' for former CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy while speaking on the Assembly floor on Thursday.
  • Balakrishna also complained that his name was placed ninth on a Film Development Corporation invitation and questioned Cinematography Minister Kandula Durgesh.
  • Chiranjeevi clarified that his meeting with Jagan at the time was invited and cordial, and he said he had tried to reach Balakrishna to join the delegation.
  • YSRCP leaders condemned the language and argued the episode reveals strain within the TDP-led coalition; they urged TDP allies to resolve internal issues without invoking Jagan.
  • YSRCP’s Jupudi Prabhakar escalated the exchange by labeling Balakrishna the 'real psycho' and citing an unverified past mental-health certificate claim, while no formal action against Balakrishna has been reported.
