Reddy Announces Retirement

Senior Politician and Anantapur MP, JC Diwakar Reddy announced his retirement. JC who never hesitates to call a spade a spade announced that he will not contest as MLA or MP in the upcoming elections in 2019. The Anantapur district strongman is earlier a senior politician in Congress who stood with the party even in 1983 NTR wave.

JC is the first Congress MLA to resign after Congress Party moved the bifurcation bill favouring the state division. He joined the rival Telugu Desam Party and played his part in the party’s victory. He has been elected 6 terms to Assembly, out of 5 times to the Assembly from the Tadipatri constituency.

He is a part of the YS Rajasekhar Reddy cabinet during 2004-2009 as Minister for Panchayat Raj and endowment departments. But then he was denied an entry into the cabinet in 2009 when YSR won for the second time and also later in Kiran Kumar Reddy’s cabinet in 2010. Buzz is that JC will bring his scion into politics in his place.
