THE MAN WHO LIVES, BREATHES, DREAMS POLITICS

KALYAN THOLETI VOU just cannot write him off.

He lives, breathes and dreams politics" this was N Chandrababu Naidu's bitter critics opined in private, when the latter was at the lowest point of his four-decade-old political career.

Naidu, who had been out of power since 2019, was jailed for the first time in life in the alleged skill development corporation scam at the time.

But many political pundits and journalists, including yours truly, thought otherwise and were busy speculating on his future and the 'existential crisis' facing his party. Fast forward to the present: Naidu is back in the saddle and how! Much more powerful than before, may be as strong as he was at the turn of the century during the Vajpayee era.
