Telugu Desam Party (TDP) State president K. Atchannaidu has said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is trying to intimidate party national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu by having a case booked against him for allegedly sparking tension during his visit to the Annamayya and Chittoor districts, but he could not be stopped from exposing the government’s failures.
In a press release on August 9 (Wednesday), Mr. Atchannaidu said it was a shame to implicate Mr. Naidu in false cases, and warned that there would be a reaction to the oppression.
He insisted that it was the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP)-backed hooligans who had launched an attack on Mr. Naidu’s convoy. “But, instead of bringing those culprits to book, the police registered a case against Mr. Naidu as part of the YSRCP’s politics of witch-hunting,” he alleged.
