Overview

  • During a House debate, TDP MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna called former chief minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy a “psycho” and rejected claims that Chiranjeevi forced a 2022 meeting with him.
  • Chiranjeevi issued a clarification stating he met Jagan at the chief minister’s invitation and said those talks led to approval for higher cinema ticket prices that aided producers, distributors and exhibitors.
  • BJP MLA Kamineni Srinivas, whose allegation about Jagan snubbing film personalities set off the exchange, asked the Deputy Speaker to expunge his remarks from Assembly records.
  • YSRCP leaders condemned Balakrishna’s language and questioned his conduct, while former minister Perni Venkataramaiah cited past instances of cooperation from Jagan toward the actor.
  • Jana Sena legislators welcomed the BJP MLA’s withdrawal and maintained restraint as coalition partners navigated the fallout and online fan wars kept the issue alive.
