Naidu says Jagan behind police's attempt to thwart his Kuppam roadshow

Kuppam: The TDP national president and former Chief Minister, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, on Friday said he suspected the hand of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy behind the anarchy of the local police.

The police created obstructions during Mr. Naidu's visit to the local TDP office in Gudipalli in Kuppam Assembly, the home constituency of the TDP supremo. Protesting against the police behaviour, Mr. Naidu staged a sit-in on the road. Later, addressing the public from the bus which is part of his convoy, he said, "The psycho Chief Minister is behind the anarchy of the police action here. Do you have any humanity? Are you not ashamed to create hurdles in my own constituency."

Questioning the police on whether he does not have the right to meet the voters in his home Assembly segment, Mr. Naidu said the people will revolt against the police if he keeps moving in the constituency. "You can only create problems physically. I am ready to sacrifice even my life for the sake of the people," he stated.

With a huge number of policemen deployed in Kuppam, Mr. Naidu said he will no longer tolerate such scenes.
