Chandrababu Naidu was arrested in the skill development scam case.He stated that with the arrest began the downfall of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) as it implicated Mr. Naidu, whose decades-long record as a politician is unblemished, in what was a false case. People took to the streets on their own for justice to Mr. Naidu as they knew the evil designs of YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and his penchant for power. “Mr. Naidu’s illegal detention turned out to be the foundation for the YSRCP grave,” Mr. Lokesh stated. It may be recalled that Mr. Naidu was detained by a team of CID at Nandyal in the early hours of September 9, 2023 for allegedly masterminding the skill development scam, when he was camping there during his Babu Surety-Bhavishyath Ki Guarantee campaign in the run-up to 2024 General Elections. He was in judicial remand for an unprecedented 53 days. Published – September 09, 2024 03:26 pm IST
