Telugu Desam Party (TDP) legislator Ganta Srinivasa Rao said on September 23 (Saturday) that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s recent discussions in the Cabinet to shift base to Visakhapatnam from Dasara was a move to divert people’s attention from the “illegal arrest” of party national president N. Chandrababu Naidu.
Addressing the media at the party office here, Mr. Srinivasa Rao said people were closely watching how Mr. Naidu had been arrested, and were questioning the “atrocities” being committed by the government. “People have understood that it is a clear case of political vendetta,” he added.
Mr. Srinivasa Rao said that after Mr. Naidu’s arrest, various surveys showed that the support base for the TDP supremo had swelled. “So, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy is resorting to diversion politics by reviving the capital shift again,” he said.
