Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu alleged that the police personnel in civil clothes had engineered the August 25 attack on Anna Canteen with sticks and the violence thereafter in Kuppam. Mr. Naidu said that when the unfortunate episode took place, the SP of the Chittoor district was present in the Kuppam area.
Addressing a public meeting at Model Colony in Kuppam, Mr. Naidu said that it was unfair on the part of the police to deploy hundreds of personnel for security at the residence of MLC K. Bharath, but deliberately ignore bandobast at Anna canteen nearby. “The Director-General of Police and Chittoor SP should answer for this lapse,” Mr. Naidu said.
