AMARAVATI: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders have expressed concern over the health condition of their party supremo N Chandrababu Naidu, who is currently in Rajamahendravaram Central Jail after the news surfaced that the latter was suffering from skin allergy and dehydration.
A meeting was held at the NTR Bhavan in Mangalagiri on Friday, where the crucial leaders from the party discussed the issue and decided to meet Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy at his residence in Tadepalli and submit a memorandum to seek his intervention and safeguard Naidu’s health in jail.
The TDP leaders demanded that the Government allow expert doctors to attend Chandrababu and the latter should be admitted to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Mangalagiri for better treatment. “Despite being 73 year-old, Chandrababu is taking good care of his health due to discipline. The latter has lost 5 kg of weight in jail, which is a matter of concern as it can affect his body,” said TDP AP unit president K Atcchannaidu.
TDP politburo members included Bonda Umamaheswara Rao, Buddha Venkanna, Varla Ramaiah, Nakka Anand Babu, Kala Venkata Rao, former minister Devineni Uma, and MLC Panchumarthi Anuradha were present during the meeting.

There was a slight altercation between police and the TDP leaders for a while. With the situation going out of control, the police took Buddha Venkanna and Manikyala Rao into custody to restore normalacy in the place.
