He tried to cross border at around 2:15 PM but Maharashtra police denied permission. He sat on the road for 1 hour and police finally arrested Chandrababu Naidu at 3:23 PM. Traffic was disrupted and high tension atmosphere was prevailed in the Andhra-Maharashtra border since morning. Many TDP leaders like P.
