LP cries foul over Lokesh marriage

Those who attended the engagement ceremony of Brahmani, daughter of NTR's son Balakrishna with Lokesh, son of Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday, could find the presence of almost all the family members of former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao.

Except, of course, Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi, widow of NTR. Reason is obvious: None of NTR's sons and daughters, sisters and close relatives, acknowledges Lakshmi Parvathi as the legal wife of NTR, though he had actually married her in public. Therefore, it was natural that they don't treat her as their relative and invite to any function held in the family.

So, it was no surprise when Lakshmi Parvathi cried foul over the marriage of Lokesh with Brahmani and described it as a fraud. She said it would definitely have no blessings of NTR. She issued a statement saying Lokesh is fortunate to marry Brahmani, but Brahmani is unlucky to get a husband like Lokesh, because he happens to be the son of Chandrababu Naidu who had betrayed his own father-in-law. Moreover, Lakshmi Parvathi knows every bit about Lokesh, his bad habits and his illegal sexual affairs. She did not reveal them, but only said "the less I talk about that fellow, the better and God only save Brahmani."

Unfortunately for her, nobody is taking Lakshmi Parvathi's comments seriously!
