No scope for sympathy in Chandrababu Naidu's arrest; Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy

AMARAVATHI: Andhra Pradesh government advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy on Monday said that there was no scope for sympathy in the case of former chief minister and TDP president Chandrababu Naidu's arrest in the Skill Development case. He said that the ACB court believed that there was Naidu's role in the skill development scam and remanded him.

Reacting to the Telugu Desam Party's grand event in Hyderabad on the occasion of 50 days of Chandrababu's arrest, Sajjala found fault with the TDP for trying to use Chandrababu's arrest as a sympathy in the next elections and stated that there was no chance for it as the people had already believed Naidu's role in the case. He alleged that a top businessman had organised the event in Hyderabad.

Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy also recalled the arrest of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in 2012 and clarified that they had proved all the cases filed against the latter were politically motivated. Stating that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy never sought sympathy over his arrest, Sajjala claimed that then Congress leaders along with former CBI JD Lakshminarayana admitted there was no corruption in the case.

The government advisor further said that any political party would have the existence only if it served the people and said that YSRCP had been working for the people for the last 13 years and clinched unprecedented victory in the 2019 elections despite losing the 2014 elections by a lesser margin.
