At 68, Nara Chandrababu Naidu displays what he is made of. Despite temper-atures touching 40°C in some regions, the president of the Telugu Desam Party campaigns for 12 hours straight across the state. Though far younger leaders are fainting because of dehydration and cancelling programmes to avoid the heat, Naidu has only upped his game with his aggressive speeches. "I do not have much choice, do I? I am a very positive person and mentally strong, too," he said. "I feel like a responsible village elder who has to protect and provide shelter to his entire village." On the day of this interview, Naidu had cancelled his morning programmes and staged a sit-in protest for an hour in Amaravati, alleging that the Centre was targetting TDP leaders with income tax raids. He then flew to Kurnool to address back-to-back public meetings. On the flight from Kurnool to Visakhapatnam that evening, he spoke to THE WEEK about his party’s prospects, allegations against him and the future of the Mahagathbandhan.
