In view of the increased threat perception particularly from extremists, the security cover has been increased to AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu by the union government. The security cover was improved five fold from the existing three fold by providing another group of NSG (National Security Guard) commandos.
With this, Naidu will be restricted from meeting people in the public places and also will not be allowed people to meet him without any security check. As a result he will lose free walk in the meeting and visits in the villages in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and Delhi particularly.
Recently, the intelligence wing of the union Home ministry alerted the AP police that Naidu is reportedly facing a threat to his life as a group of naxals allegedly belonging to the banned CPI (Maoist) party planned to attack him in New Delhi.
It may be mentioned here that Naidu was attacked by Naxals during his visit to Tirumala and escaped with injuries in October 2003.
It is learnt the naxals conducted recce at least six times at AP Bhavan and also identified spots to attack the leader anytime in the next visit to the national capital. Alerted AP police immediately swung into action and began efforts to tighten security by deploying more forces. Naidu also reviewed the security arrangements at AP Bhavan with top police.
