  TDP President, Nara Chandrababu Naidu reached Hyderabad along with party MLAs and MPs from Aurangabad. Earlier, Maharashtra Government has withdrawn all cases against Telugu Desam leaders.  Party activists gave grand welcome to party leaders at the Shamshabad airport.  In the morning, Maharashtra government acted brutally against TDP legislators and had taken them from Dharmabad to Aurangabad. After receiving heavy criticism from all quarters, Maharashtra government has withdrawn all the cases against Telugu Desam party leaders and forcefully deported them from Aurangabad to Hyderabad.  This is the black day in the Indian democratic history. Maharashtra police even manhandled on Telugu Desam legislators including women MLAs. There is widespread anger against Maharashtra government and chief minister S.B.

Chandrababu Naidu shifted to Aurangabad jail

July 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment

  Telugu Desam Party president Nara Chandrababu Naidu is shifted to Aurangabad jail from Dharmabad ITI. Maharashtra police acted in a inhumane manner while shifting TDP leaders from Dharmabad to Aurangabad jail. All these leaders will be in judicial remand until July 26. Andhra legislators were arrested by Maharashtra police while they tried to visit controversial Babli project.  Maharashtra police even manhandled many TDP leaders. They misbehaved even with women legislators. Many legislators even weeped while talking on phone with journalists. Police even dragged Andhra MLAs and MLCs who are in fasting for last 24 hours.  No Government in Indian history behaved so brutally with legislators as this Maharashtra Government did. We don't know whether Andhra pradesh is a state in India or not. If we are part of India, why central government is not protecting Andhra legislators when Maharashtra Government failed to protect human rights.  I am hoping that National Human Rights Commission will enquire about this incident and take necessary action on Maharashtra police. Are we living in a democratic state? I failed to understand this over-action by Maharashtra police and Government with representatives elected by people. Whole Andhra should unite and fight against Maharashtra Government on this inhumane act.     … [Read more...]

July 17, 2010 By Leave a Comment

  Telugu Desam party president, Chandrababu Naidu and other party leaders remanded to 14-day Judicial custody as they refused to take bail. But, they will be kept in Dharmabad ITI for 2 more days. Chandrababu Naidu should be kept in A+ jail as he is under Z+ category security. Maharashtra has just 2 A+ category jails (Pune & Aurangabad). This incident created high tense atmosphere in both Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. Telugu Desam activists conducted agitations across the state.  Significance: Master stroke by TDP president before Telangana by-elections. TDP which was in third place in many segments suddenly came into limelight. This incident will help TDP to regain cadre base and fight hard in the by-elections.

Chandrababu Naidu arrested at Maharashtra border

July 16, 2010 By Leave a Comment

  Telugu Desam President, Nara Chandrababu Naidu has been arrested at Dharmaram village on Andhra-Maharashtra border. He is arrested by Maharashtra police when he tried to visit controversial Babli project. TDP leaders were taken to Dharmabad ITI in Naded district. One should appreciate Nanded SP for managing the tense situation in a cool manner.  TDP president started his "Babli bus journey" from Assembly Bhavan in Hyderabad and reached Dhrmaram village (Andhra-Maharashtra border) by 1:30 PM. 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. Ashok Gajapathi Raju, Devender Goud, E. Dayakar Rao, M. Narsimhulu, Pocharam Srinivasa Reddy, Nama Nageswara Rao, P. Ramulu and Venugopala Chari etc. also participated in the Yatra. Nagam Janardhan Reddy is conspicuous by his absence. Most of the Telugu Desam MLAs participated in the Yatra.  Comment: Babli bus Yatra is the best political move by TDP president after a long time. In one shot, he visited Telangana area without any problem and also succeeded in gaining political mileage. TDP candidates are struggling in many segments in the by-elections due to strong Telangana segment. But, this bus yatra may partially help TDP candidates in Sirpur, Mancherial and Chennur Assembly by-elections in Adilabad district where Telugu Desam party has strong base.  … [Read more...]
