Naidu condemns arrest of TDP, oppn. leaders

Jagan targeting oppn. parties instead of focussing on COVID care, alleges TDP chief

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national President and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has condemned the arrest of TDP leaders and those of other opposition parties. “There are two sets of laws in the State. One for the ruling party leaders and the other for opposition leaders. The TDP strongly condemns the arrests of the opposition leaders,” he said. Addressing party senior leaders and mandal presidents on Tuesday, Mr. Naidu said that the government, instead of coming to the rescue of the needy patients, was targeting opposition leaders. The police arrested the TDP leaders and CPI national Secretary K. Narayana when they were going to visit the Ruia hospital. On the other hand, the ruling YSRCP leaders were permitted to go into the wards at this hospital. “It is sheer double standards,” he said.
