Country's Vice President Venkaiah Naidu has recalled his association with TDP founder NTR. Venkaiah has shared an interesting anecdote that took place in 1983 when he himself had contested for direct election for Assembly constituency Udayagiri in Nellore district. Meanwhile Venkaiah said NTR was supposed to come to his constituency for the campaign, but he hadn't only because NTR wanted him to win the election.
As per report Venkaiah recalled that NTR had sent his man Daggubati Chenchu Ramaiah to him and personally conveyed him that NTR wouldn't campaign in his constituency. Furthermore Chenchu Ramaiah apparently told Naidu that NTR didn't come for the campaign only because he was fighting against Congress.
Moreover as Chandrababu Naidu is inching close to Congress, Venkaiah
Naidu's comments have gained significance. Further on the eve of completing one
year in the post of Vice President of India, Venkaiah said how he had feared
when he was given the huge task of Vice President. However, Venkaiah said the
biggest challenge and worry for him is the running of Rajya Sabha for which he
is the Chairman. Moreover he said his wish is to elevate the stature of the
Upper House, but he said he is so worried over the way the House is being
functioned.
