Known for his sensational comments and no-nonsense statements, maverick politician from Anantapur and former MP J C Diwakar Reddy has predicted that Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu might not continue in his post for a long time.
“Naidu is an experienced politician and a visionary. His services are very much essential for the all-round development of the state. He is a matured leader and I am confident that all sections of the society will be happy in his rule,” Diwakar Reddy said in an interview to a digital channel.
However, the former MP said, Naidu might not continue as the chief minister for his full five-year term.
“As far as I understand, he will not the chief minister for five years. After a couple of years or so, there is a possibility that he will hand over the reins to his son Nara Lokesh. This is my prediction,” he said.
Referring to Jana Sena Party president and deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, too, Diwakar Reddy made a sensational comment.
“I don’t think he will continue in politics for a long time. It is better he continues acting in films, as he can earn big money there. Politics don’t suit for him, if he wants to be financially strong,” he said.
The former MP admitted that he had never met Pawan Kalyan and so, he did not know much about him.
“He has just taken charge as deputy chief minister and one can judge him only after a month. I can make a comment on his administrative skills and policies only then,” he said.
