AP Opposition leader and TDP National President took strong objection to DGP Gowtham Sawang’s comment on the police chases and harassment of TDP leaders in the state. Naidu said that it was not correct on the part of DGP to describe the TDP fears as a Media Show at a time when the opposition party leaders are losing their lives. Naidu asked the DGP whether the suicide of former Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao is also a media show in the eyes of AP Police. Was it not because of non-stop harassment with police cases and insults that Kodela committed suicide? Quite unusually, the ruling YCP leaders are blatantly misusing the police machinery to file the SC, ST atrocities cases against the opposition leaders.

Naidu reacted on DGP comment during his current tour in the Srikakulam district. He is holding assembly segment wise meetings. Naidu asserted that the TDP would not be afraid and their party knows how to protect its activists. He told the local leaders that he could not spend much time on party activities while in power but now that gap will be filled.
