Taraka Ratna, too smart a politician



Nandamuri Taraka Ratna has proved himself a smarter politician than expected. The way he answered embarrassing questions from Rajanikanth, TV9 anchor, in a live show amply proves this.

Taraka Ratna did not succumb to any of the cross-questioning from Rajanikanth. On his controversial comment that Balakrishna would be the next Chief Minister, he simply said the controversy was the creation of the media. "Why are you making a issue out of non-issue?

This is not correct," he snubbed Rajanikanth. On his absence at the luncheon meeting held by Chandrababu Naidu with NTR family members, too, Taraka Ratna got angry. "We are all one family members. I can go to mamayya's house whenever I want. There is no need for any invitation. I was in Kurnool at that time for a film shooting. Don't try to dig too much into the matter, which is not there," he said.

On many other points, Rajanikanth tried to extract a controversial statement from Taraka Ratna, but the latter was too smart to fall into the trap. He said he would not take up politics as full time, but would definitely work for the Telugu Desam party, even after it comes to power.
