Only Two Garlands for NTR’s Statue? Dismay Over ‘Tammulla’ Behavior in Uravakonda

!

Uravakonda, January 19:

The death anniversary celebrations of the late Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR)—the symbol of Telugu pride and the founder of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)—have become a major point of discussion in Uravakonda. In a town known as a TDP stronghold, the fact that only two garlands were placed on the statue of ‘Annaya’ has now become the 'Talk of the Town.'

Have Leaders Forgotten? Are Cadres Distanced?

Just a year ago, this statue was grandly inaugurated in front of the Government Degree College by NTR’s daughter, Daggubati Purandeswari, and MLA Payyavula Keshav. However, during the death anniversary observed yesterday, the atmosphere at the statue remained lackluster. Severe criticism is mounting against party leaders who have benefited from the party and those currently holding positions for failing to even visit the site.

Are Those Two the Only Real Fans?

While the town was filled with flex banners and tributes were paid to photos at the party office, the neglect of the statue at the main junction was glaring. Only one couple reportedly visited the statue to offer garlands and pay their respects. In a town with a population of 50,000 and thousands of party workers, the fact that only two people turned up at the statue raises serious questions about the commitment of the local cadre.

Opposition Ridicule – A Debate on ‘Ethics’

Opposition leaders have wasted no time in taking jibes at the situation. While YSRCP ranks celebrate the birth and death anniversaries of Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy like festivals, political circles are buzzing with talk about how the ruling party ranks have ignored their own founder’s statue.

"In Uravakonda, where protests were held in solidarity when Chandrababu Naidu was arrested, it is disheartening that there wasn't a single person to properly garland the founder's statue on his death anniversary," locals were heard whispering.

It remains to be seen whether the leaders and followers who have risen to prominence using the party’s name will respond to this 'negligence.'

Would you like me to translate this into a more formal press release style or perhaps draft a social media post based on this report?
