Ex-Congress MP from Anakapalle constituency Sabbam Hari was seen playing a role of special ambassador to Telugu Desam Party on television yesterday following the Nandyal bypoll results. He was showering praises on Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for his unprecedented win in by-election without taking the help of allies BJP and JanaSena. He even said that Chandrababu is now the only responsible bigwig for the state, especially after Venkaiah Naidu is sidelined from active politics.

Hari a friend-turned-foe of Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, has always participated in debates more like an analyst than a politician despite being one. However, if the reports are to be believed, Chief Minister’s office is said to have given this special role to Hari to ensure that Chandrababu is projected as the most responsible person in the state. When asked, isn’t Chief Minister by default has to be sensible, Hari responded with a question “How many of them are being accountable?” This clearly indicates he will be continuing his job of praising the TDP supremo reliably.
