Even as TDP is crying foul over the alleged ‘politically-motivated’ raids on its leaders, the raids continued on the senior leaders of TDP. A day after IT raids on TTD chairman and Mydukur MLA Putta Sudhakar Naidu, about 30 police personnel have reached CM Ramesh’s home early morning today. Around 6 AM, police people have come to CM Ramesh’s home and searched every inch of the three-storey building. Ramesh said to have questioned the police whether they are carrying ‘search warrant’, but cops declined to comment and reportedly told him that they are acting as per orders from the top.
Cops have searched for over an hour at CM Ramesh’s residence at Potladurthi in Erraguntla of Kadapa district. Cops turned back empty hand as they haven’t found ‘anything’ at Ramesh’s house. CM Ramesh and his brother Suresh Naidu were present at the house when cops raided.
After that, cops have raided the houses of CM Ramesh’s followers. CM Ramesh has fumed over the untimely searches of cops. He said these are politically motivated searches. He alleged that only TDP leaders are being targeted and said IT, police are trying to ‘scare’ TDP candidates ahead of elections.
