With impending elections round the corner, Andhra Pradesh state government gave away Nandi Awards for year 2005 and 2006, NTR awards for years 2003, 04, 05 06 at a glittering ceremony. Never did before the awards ceremony conducted such a grand scale. Amidst the speculations that heroes Mahesh Babu and Nagarjuna would support the Congress government on the stage, the awards ceremony created enough curiosity among the public. Although the government used the stage to show off their star power, the stars actually didn’t make any political statements nor did they support the government on public dais.
Nagarjuna who is actively participating in campaign of government schemes also didn’t utter anything that can be termed as political statement. Mahesh Babu’s brief speech was all about movies.
