Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday said he had nothing to do with the arrest of TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu and that he had no vengeance against him.

Reddy claimed that the Central probe agencies - the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Income Tax Department - had probed the allegations against former chief minister Naidu and subsequently made arrests, and said the IT department had also served notices on him (the TDP chief) "Nobody arrested Chandrababu Naidu due to vengeance. I don't have any vengeance against Naidu. I have nothing to do with the arrest. It (arrest) was made when I was not in India," he said at a meeting of YSRCP leaders.

Further, Reddy said Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself had made corruption allegations against Naidu and that he was in the opposition at that time.
