In a rather shocking development, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has been issued non bailable arrest warrant by a court in Maharashtra. The notices were issued in connection with the protest done by Chandrababu and co against Babli project a decade back. Notices were issued by Dharmabad court in Maharashtra. Notices were issued to Chandrababu, Devineni Uma and 14 others.

The protest was taken up by TDP as Telangana people were at loss because of the Babli project. Then, Chandrababu and others were house arrested by Maharashta government. Later they were taken back to Hyderabad in special flight by Maharashtra government.

Is it Operation Garuda?
It is almost a decade since the incident and it is surprising that this case surfaced again now. Some people doubt whether this is part of Operation Garuda as actor Shivaji has been alleging. Moreover it is BJP ruling in Maharashtra.

Is it NOT operation Garuda?
But on the other hand, others rubbish the argument that this is Operation Garuda. Because this case is in fact reminding people about Chandrababu’s fight for Telangana people in this election season. Such action may actually help Chandrababu in Telangana elections.

We will have to wait and see how this case unfolds.
