Chandrababu is facing cases on one issue or the other from time to time. The courts have been postponing the cases from time to time. The Jagan Government has been trying to implicate him one case or the other.
Mukul Rohatgi fighting for the Government told the bench that benefit or liberty of bail cannot be given to those who make such threatening statements just before the elections. Senior Advocate Harish Salve, representing Chandrababu Naidu, said they would file a response to the application.
Directing Harish Salve representing the Ex CM, to file the response within two weeks, the bench posted the matter for further hearing after three weeks.
The state police had arrested Babu on September 9 last year for alleged misappropriation of funds from the AP State Skill Development Corporation when he was the chief minister in 2015, causing a purported loss of `371 crore to the state exchequer. Naidu denies the charge.
Cases are pending against Lokesh the son of Babu who is the GS for the TDP. Right now the more of Babu and the TDP leaders is very high as they have joined the Sena alliance and trying to form a united Opposition along with the BJP.
The TDP Sena combine is hoping to form the Government in the coming days, while the YSRC under Jagan is aiming at 175 seats in all. It is an acid test for the leadership of Jagan in Andhra.
