In March 2019, former TDP MP J.C. Diwakar Reddy had cautioned the Telugu Desam Party leadership on negativity and people being unhappy with at least 40% sitting MLAs in former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s government.
Diwakar Reddy had said that widespread allegations of corruption against at least 50 sitting MLAs in the state were making rounds in political circles. Additionally, Diwakar Reddy also said that people were unhappy with their services and the MLAs not being available.
“Chandrababu has to change at least 30-40% of sitting MLAs. They are bringing bad name to the CM. IF TDP leadership doesn’t change the sitting MLAs, then god knows, what will happen to TDP,” JC Diwakar Reddy is seen, stating in the video, in an interaction with journalists, two months ago.
Going by the severe drubbing that Telugu Desam faced in the state in the hands of YSR Congress, it is clear that the TDP High Command ignored all the advice that came from its seniors. Looks like the yellow party’s ignorance has done irreparable damage to the party in the state assembly elections!
