In a politically far-reaching move, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu has sought information from Andhra Pradesh’s Director General of Police (DGP) about the cases filed against him across the State.
In a letter to the DGP on March 5, and marking copies to all the District Superintendents of Police, APCID, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) and the Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Naidu said that several cases had been “foisted against him” in various police stations and by several agencies in the State.
“Every candidate contesting the Assembly elections, in pursuance of the ECI instructions, has to furnish the criminal antecedents, if any, to the election authorities and the general public. Hence, kindly arrange to furnish the list of cases filed against me by different agencies and authorities since January 1, 2019,” Mr. Naidu said in the letter.
