The Telugu Desam Party’s Vizianagaram district president Kimidi Nagarjuna on September 10 alleged that the police department was violating all rules and regulations by preventing Opposition leaders from airing their views and staging protests over the arrest of TDP national president and former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu.
Mr. Nagarjuna was taken into custody on Sunday morning when he was about to participate in the hunger strike, deploring the arrest of Mr. Naidu.

He wore black dress to register his protest against the ‘‘undemocratic’ methods adopted by the police.
Mr. Nagarjuna alleged that the YSRCP Government indulged in “political vendetta” to show Mr. Naidu in a poor light by including his name in ‘so-called’ fund diversion of Skill Development Corporation.
As many leaders were under detention, the hunger strike was postponed in Vizianagaram, Cheepurupalli and other parts.
