Anganwadi workers arrested for Naidu’s safety: KTR

Hyderabad: Minister for IT & Panchayat Raj K Taraka Rama Rao here on Tuesday went hammer and tongs at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for ‘telling lies’.

Speaking to media persons here, Rama Rao faulted the AP Chief Minister for alleging that Anganwadi workers from his State were arrested by the Telangana police while the former were coming to Hyderabad for staging a protest.

Rama Rao said, “At present, Chandrababu Naidu is our guest. His safety and security is ours. We have also tightened security at Chandrababu Naidu’s farm house at our own cost. But Chandrababu Naidu’s claim that protesting AP Anganwadi workers were arrested at sight by the Telangana police is far from truth”.

It may be mentioned here that earlier Chandrababu Naidu told the AP Assembly that law and order issue in Hyderabad was not of his government, but of Telangana government.

“Law and order in Hyderabad is in the hands of Telangana government and the arrests of AP Anganwadi workers was not my government’s decision,” he said.
