Mr. Chandrababu Naidu alleged that the government and police colluded with each other to intimidate the TDP leaders by resorting to physical attacks.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is going to stage a 36-hour demonstration in protest against Tuesday’s attacks on his party offices and leaders’ houses, from 8 a.m. of October 21 till 8 p.m. the next day calling them acts of ‘State-sponsored terrorism’. The protest will be held at the TDP headquarters near Mangalagiri in Guntur district.
Mr. Chandrababu Naidu said in a press release that the ransacking of the State party office, the residence of spokesman K. Pattabhiram (whose comments on the Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy sparked the outrage) and the offices/houses of various leaders by the YSR Congress (YSRC) cadres was a major conspiracy that should be exposed by the police.
Mr. Chandrababu Naidu alleged that the government and police colluded with each other to intimidate the TDP leaders by resorting to physical attacks. By doing so, they jeopardised democracy.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
