The police department detained prominent leaders and activists of the major opposition parties in Tirupati on Thursday, ahead of the visit of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Sensing trouble, the department detained the leaders of the TDP, BJP and Left parties and placed some under house arrest. TDP Tirupati parliamentary constituency in-charge G. Narasimha Yadav accused the government of muzzling the voice of the Opposition, instead of giving a patient hearing. “This shows that the government is not ready to accept positive criticism,” he charged.
