The Telangana minister slammed Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu for getting his police to serve a notice on news channel T-News in the Revanth Reddy case.
Telangana Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao today slammed Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for getting his police to serve a notice on Telangana news channel T-News late on Friday night in the Revanth Reddy note-for-vote case.
Addressing the media on Saturday, Rao accused Naidu of creating an issue of Section 8 of the A P Reorganization Act whose imposition was not at all required now, and of raking it up only to divert his involvement in the Revanth Reddy case.
The Centre, he said, should intervene in the issue.
"We will complain against Chandrababu Naidu and his police officials to Governor E S L Narsimhan over the notices issued to the T-News channel, and seek necessary action. Section 8 is relevant only when there are attacks on the freedom of the people and their assets in the city. Though no such an incident has taken place so far, Naidu is deliberately insisting on the use of Section 8 only to divert the main issue of his involvement," Rao said.
Afraid of the noose and to escape from the case, Naidu had appointed Gandhi, former chief of the Forensic Lab, Rao alleged. Naidu should prove his integrity if he had the guts and come out with clarity, he demanded.
"We are not ready to keep quiet in this regard, and the law will take its own course. Naidu is known for sabotaging Telangana's development," Rao charged.
Naidu was trying to dominate Telangana where he has no say, Rao said. Hyderabad was just a common capital until the AP government built facilities at its own capital, he added. (NSS)
