Controversies	He was stunned by his party and his government because of a coup led by his Cabinet colleague and son-in-law, N. Chandrababu Naidu. Two of his sons played a crucial role in the coup, as Naidu promised them power within the party. In addition, there were rumors that NTR intended to entrust the reins of the party to his second wife, Lakshmi Parvathi. Although he tried harder, he failed miserably to regain the support of his party and the public. In an interview, NTR claimed it was a planned treachery and said his sons and Naidu were power hungry and unreliable.
