Chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, who was arrested eight years ago on the charges of leading a violent protest, intimidation and obstruction of public servants from discharging their duties, received the non-bailable warrant from the Maharashtra police, Thursday night, while he was participating in Bramhotsvams in the temple of town of Tirupati. Across Andhra Pradesh there were Protests after an arrest warrant was issued against Naidu and others in connection with a case dating back to July 2010. While in opposition, he led the protest against the then Maharashtra state government headed by Congress and the National Conference Party (NCP) for raising the height of the Babbli project that allegedly hurt the irrigation interests of north Telangana in then undivided Andhra Pradesh. The issue of arrest warrant triggered a barrage of protests led by TDP across the state, suspecting a conspiracy to target Naidu after he parted ways with the NDA government. Coincidentally, film actor Sivaji in a media interaction predicted that Naidu would be arrested soon as part of “Garuda operation” allegedly launched by the NDA government against the opposition leaders.
