PARTY GAMES

The Bharatiya Janata Party-Telugu Desam Party spat in Andhra Pradesh is now down to name-calling. If newbie Rajya Sabha member and BJP spokesman G.V.L. Narasimha Rao is calling the TDP the Total Drama Party, state information technology minister and chief minister Chandrababu’s son N. Lokesh has urged the BJP to call itself the Bharatiya Jagan-Pawan Party, the allusion being to the party’s dependence on Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy’s YSR Congress and Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena Party.
