I Could be Arrested, Attacked, Says TDP Chief

Kalyandurgam (Anantapur): TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu claimed that he could be arrested on Wednesday or sometime soon. Naidu made these remarks during an interaction with the public at Rayadurgam in Anantapur district on Wednesday and alleged that he could even be attacked.

“Today or tomorrow they could arrest me. They may even attack me. Not one, they will do many atrocities,” Naidu pointing out to YSRCP government said. To face this kind of ‘atrocious regime,’ he called on at least one person from each household to make ‘sacrifice’ for the state and move forward. The former chief minister asserted that he had lived a steadfast life and claimed that nobody dared to file a suit against him in 45 years and added that there was no proof or evidence against him.

According to Naidu, former Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy had allegedly filed several cases against him but had failed to cause any damage to him. Vowing that he will never compromise, Naidu, who is also Opposition leader in the state assembly, said his journey will continue until justice is achieved and drove home the message that the state is important. He said those who commit injustice will be ‘buried in the sands of time,’ noting that it is going to happen in another four or six months’ time for which people are prepared. Further, he noted that TDP is going to get its best ever mandate in the forthcoming elections.

Naidu described Jagan, as ‘most wicked’ chief minister in the annals of the history of AP and the time has come for the people to make a redemption for their sin of voting for YSRCP. Interacting with farmers here, Naidu reiterated that all the benefits given to farmers during the TDP rule will be restored when the party storms back to power in 2024. Naidu pointed out that his government had given input subsidy and climate-based insurance to groundnut crop. He said that his government had initiated Rs 920 crore Bhairavanitippa project, which was shelved by the YSRCP government. It had also watered down the drip and sprinkler irrigation methods.

He described the current dispensation as ‘anti-farmer’ government that has withdrawn all benefits extended by his government.

Earlier the faaarmers shared their woes and accused the present government of imposing power cuts on the farming sector and failing to pay remunerative price to groundnut crop.
