Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s wife Nara Bhuvaneswari led a hunger strike by party leaders across the State on Monday, which coincided with Gandhi Jayanti, in protest against what she called the illegal arrest of her husband in the alleged skill development scam.
Addressing the party cadres and supporters in Rajamahendravaram on Monday evening, Ms. Bhuvaneswari spoke of Mr. Naidu’s commitment to the betterment of the State. “My husband barely sleeps for four hours a day. What he did for the development of the State and welfare of the people was like penance. My family never stooped to such a low level as to loot people’s money,” she said.
That Mr. Naidu masterminded the skill development scam was a wild allegation, she asserted, while saying that she never expected her family to land in such trouble for no fault of theirs.
