Jagan govt. questions Chandrababu in another'scam'...?
As part of the statewide bandh called by the telugu desam party (TDP) to protest the arrest of party supremo and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, workers and supporters of the tdp held protests in various locations of the YSRCP-ruled andhra pradesh, defying heavy police deployment and Section 144 of the CrPC, which forbids the gathering of people.The administration and police, however, launched an unprecedented crackdown on the tdp rank and file, and as a result, a number of its leaders were taken into preventive custody, which prevented the protests from becoming widespread. Statewide protesters were rounded up by the police and taken to police stations. On saturday morning, Naidu was taken into custody by the state CID in Nandyal in connection with the alleged multi-million dollar ap State Skill Development Corporation scam that allegedly involved his administration from 2014 to 2019. On sunday night, a vijayawada Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) court sentenced Naidu to 14 days of judicial custody. Following the court's directive, he was transferred to rajahmundry Central Jail, 200 kilometres from Vijayawada.Months before the assembly elections and the lok sabha elections, the tdp chief's arrest has heightened the political climate in Andhra Pradesh. The party has dubbed it a "political vendetta" launched by the state government, which is headed by YSRCP leader and chief minister YS jagan Mohan Reddy. Naidu and jagan have been at odds with one another on a number of occasions lately.The police have placed many tdp leaders at the state and district levels under house arrest because the party has so far been unable to coordinate large-scale protests. The 21 tdp MLAs have all been placed under house arrest, and there are sizable police presences outside each of their residences to prevent them from leaving.
