JC Diwakar Reddy YSR CongressThere are speculations that Senior MP JC Diwakar Reddy is leaving TDP and is joining BJP to keep himself safe from Jagan Mohan Reddy. But then, JC came before media and announced that he is retiring from active politics. He feels politics have changed over the last 40 years and it is difficult for him to adjust in present-day politics.

This will ensure that JC Diwakar Reddy will not influence the political decisions of his heirs. They can get to decide which party is good for them. As a senior politician, JC Diwakar Reddy cannot go back to Jagan whom he criticized a lot and at the same time, can not go to BJP which is nothing in the state.

There are speculations that Many senior leaders in TDP are looking at BJP which will be an insurance for them against CBI raids, inquiries etc or even physical assaults. But the party has lost deposits in all the seats it has contested. The big question is will the leaders risk their careers.

These people can not join YSR Congress as the party is already full and joining after the elections which gave a clear mandate to YSR Congress will leave them with nothing. So, many are thinking of remaining in TDP for now but would remain politically inactive for the next 2-3 years praying that BJP and YSR Congress would not focus on them.
