Naidu denies procuring Pegasus spyware by his government

Telugu Desam Party national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday asserted that his government had never purchased the Pegasus spyware during his tenure as Chief Minister.

In a statement, Mr. Naidu said: “By now it must have become very clear that my government turned down the offer made by the Pegasus,” and cited copies of the application filed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act by an individual from Kurnool district and the clarification given by the authorities concerned.

Mr. Naidu said it had become clear yet again that the YSR Congress Party was bent upon showing the TDP in the bad light through a ceaseless misinformation campaign.
