Whenever there is an opportunity, Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu turns philosophical, stating that there was need for him to indulge in corruption, as he leads a very simple life and eats simple food.
The TDP president made claims several times as to how simple his menu would be. Even at the just concluded Collector’s conference, he went on explaining his ascetic life style and the food he takes.
“I don’t relish rich man’s diet, which is loaded with costly items, fats and sweets. I love to have simple diet, which is the secret of my health,” he explained.
He said every morning, he would take oats for breakfast in the form of upma or dosas. Between breakfast and lunch, he would have a fruit or some dry fruits. For lunch, Naidu would have only millets such as jowar, bajra, ragi and oats with 2 or 3 vegetables.
In the evening, he would some small snack – either fruits or dry fruits or egg white or soup. And he would have a glass of milk at bed time.
“I strictly follow diet restrictions, which help me keep fit throughout the day. I sleep just for five to six hours day,” he said.
