The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has alleged that the family members of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president Daggubati Purandeswari were involved in the Visakhapatnam drugs case.
Speaking to the media on Friday, YSRCP State general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said that the drugs seized by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Visakhapatnam port had revealed startling connections between the TDP and the BJP. The drugs were seized in a filmy style. The TDP and BJP were attempting to politicise the ongoing investigation, alleged Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy accusing them of hindering the process with baseless allegations.
“Even as the CBI is probing the case, the TDP is overreacting. It was surprising to note that Mr. Naidu and his son Nara Lokesh turned to X to post messages. Their knee-jerk reactions give scope for suspicion that they were behind the drug mafia,” he alleged adding that Mr. Naidu’s preemptive finger-pointing at the ruling party even before the police commenced an investigation into the matter would hinder the process.
