The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lodged a complaint against Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna with Hyderabad police.Balakrishna made offensive remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

BJP’s Hyderabad unit president N Ramachander Rao said Balakrishna had made cheap and offensive comments against the PM at Vijayawada.

Balakrishna had made the remarks on Friday while addressing a gathering at the hunger strike taken up by his brother-in-law and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, according to Rao, a member of the state legislative council.

He requested the police to initiate action against Balakrishna, son of legendary actor and former chief minister NT Rama Rao, for “hurting the sentiments” of people and “inciting people” against the government.

Inspector G Jagan of Osmania University police station said appropriate action would be taken after going through evidence, including video clippings provided by Rao.

The BJP also urged Governor ESL Narasimhan to dismiss Balakrishna’s assembly membership. A BJP delegation led by the party’s floor leader in the assembly, P Vishnu Kumar Raju, submitted a memorandum to the governor, demanding Balakrishna’s ouster.Raju later said, “What kind of language was he using? How dare he give a call to people to chase and beat the Prime Minister?”

Balakrishna, who represents Hindupur assembly constituency in Anantapur, had accused Modi of playing politics to attack the TDP, which walked out the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) at the Centre last month over denial of special status to Andhra Pradesh. He accused the PM of betraying and cheating Andhra Pradesh.
