Chandrababu Naidu arrested in undemocratic way, says Thulasi Reddy

Former MP and Chairman of the Media and Social Media Committee of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) N. Thulasi Reddy has found fault with the manner in which TDP national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu was arrested by the APCID.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a protest by Agrigold victims, Mr. Thulasi Reddy said the court of law would decide whether any corruption had happened, “but the manner in which Mr. Naidu was arrested is not right. He has been here for the last two years. This is certainly not the way to arrest a former Chief Minister. It is totally undemocratic,” he said.

Referring to the Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan’s announcement on the decision to align with the TDP in the elections, the senior Congress leader said there was nothing new in what he had said. “He has been saying that he will not allow the anti-government votes to split, yesterday he only repeated it.”
