Taking a broadside at the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) which was in a celebratory mode after interim bail was granted to the party president N. Chandrababu Naidu in the skill development scam case, the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) pointed out that the Andhra Pradesh High Court was yet to go into the merits of the case and that the bail was granted on health grounds.
Addressing the media at the party office at Tadepalli near here on October 31 (Tuesday), YSRCP State general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said that Mr. Naidu’s innocence in the case was yet to be proved in the court of law.
“One should understand that a conditional bail was granted to Mr. Naidu. The court is yet to go into the merits of the case. The celebrations are needless as the TDP national president has to go to prison again on November 28. The court has ordered that he should not indulge or make any political statement. Mr. Naidu has been permitted to visit a hospital and his residence as a remand prisoner,” he said.
