"There is every possibility of Jagan stepping down by Deepavali this year despite big industrialist and Union minister's son trying to save him," he said.

Speaking to media here on Monday, the former MP condemned the police arresting TDP leader Devineni Uma Maheswar Rao.

He said DGP Gautam Sawang should be condemned for the reprehensible actions of the police against TDP leader and also the police beating up rebel YSRCP leader K Raghurama Krishna Raju during his interrogation following his arrest recently.
