Telangana Assembly Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy has made stunning comments against AP opposition leader Chandrababu Naidu’s arrest.
Pocharam opined that there is no space for political vengeance.
He said, “I’m strongly condemning the arrest of Chandrababu Naidu. Acts like these should not happen in the country. In a democracy, the administration should not resort to such political arrests.”
This reaction indicates that the speaker could not have made such comments without taking the permission of KCR and others.
This means KCR is supporting the cause of Chandrababu. If this happens to Babu, others could be trouble in the future.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee condemned the arrest of Chandrababu Naidu and termed it as a political vendetta.
“If any scam was found during the TDP regime, it should be addressed through dialogue and investigation. Resorting to divisive actions is not the right approach,” Mamata Banerjee said.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) OBC Morcha national president and Rajya Sabha member K Laxman said, “The BJP is opposing the way Chandrababu Naidu was arrested.
How can the latter be arrested without asking for any explanation from him? It is highly deplorable to arrest Chandrababu Naidu without mentioning his name in the FIR.”
Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan solidly supported Chandrababu Naidu and staged a protest at Jaggayyapeta in the NTR district. He also asserted that he would continue to offer his support to the TDP president in all aspects.
