Nara Lokesh's Birthday Wishes to Junior NTR Amidst Political Tensions

The relationship between the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leadership and actor Junior NTR has long been strained. The YSR Congress Party often tries to exploit this for political gain. Leaders like Kodali Nani and Vallabhaneni Vamsi have repeatedly attempted to politicize Junior NTR's actions, such as when he wore a blue shirt while voting, suggesting he was subtly encouraging fans to support the YSR Congress. This claim was mocked by many.

In the recent election, Junior NTR did not campaign for the TDP. Interactions between him and the TDP leadership, including Nara Lokesh, have been minimal and formal. Lokesh consistently wishes Junior NTR a happy birthday each year, a gesture some YSR Congress supporters claim is just for political show.

Despite the election results pending until June 4th, Lokesh wished Junior NTR a happy birthday today, posting on social media: “Heartfelt birthday wishes to @tarak9999. May God bless you with good health and happiness.”

TDP supporters argue that if these wishes were purely for political purposes, Lokesh wouldn't continue them after the elections. They believe the YSR Congress will keep trying to use Junior NTR against the TDP, but their efforts will only lead to more mockery.
