Reacting to the case filed against him at the Chikkadpally Police Station, former minister D Sridhar Babu alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was behind it, and that such ploys were the CM's way of threatening the Opposition parties' leaders using the police.
He claimed that the Chief Minister had a habit of blowing up minor issues and portraying them as serious crimes where his rivals were concerned, and that in this case there wasn't even an issue to start with.
Babu said that the TRS government was intentionally maligning the Opposition parties' leaders. He said that his family was known for serving the state. The police had filed a case against him only under the pressure from state government, he claimed, and said that the government was resorting to actions like this keeping the fight on the Kaleswaram project in mind.
