Goud, Naidu framed party leader: Cong

HYDERABAD: The Congress sees a slander campaign in the arrest of party leader Vaddepalli Narsinga Rao. Rao is an AICC member and was nabbed on Sunday on charges of landgrabbing.
On Monday, the arrest of the party leader drew loud protests from the PCC, which dubbed the move “politically motivated� and a doing of CM N Chandrababu Naidu and home minister T Devender Goud.“Rao has been arrested on trumped up charges,� PCC president M Satyanarayana Rao claimed. The police, he claimed, acted at the behest of Naidu and Goud to sully the Congress image.
The PCC chief claimed the police had no documentary evidence to prove their charges against Narsinga Rao. “The Congress too has evidence to nail TDP leaders in landgrabbing cases. We will bring them all out when it’s time,� Rao said.
Launching a tirade against Cyberabad police chief M Mahender Reddy, he accused him of dancing to the tunes of Goud and CM. “I was under the impression that Reddy is a sincere officer. The false case on the AICC member has shown him in his true colours.�
