For the second consecutive day, the Telugu Desam Party organised massive protests across Andhra Pradesh protesting the undemocratic arrest of social activist Anna Hazare and his supporters in New Delhi.
TDP president and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu led a dharna of his party workers at the Mahatma Gandhi statue on MG Road in Secunderabad.
“Carry on your fight (against corruption)...we will be with you,” the TDP rank and file promised Mr. Hazare and raised slogans against corruption.
Mr. Naidu once again lashed out at the Central government over the manner in which it dealt with Mr. Hazare’s protest.
“The entire is nation is up against corruption but the Government of India remains indifferent. We want a stronger Jan Lokpal and not a ‘toothless’ law to root out corruption,” Mr. Naidu asserted.
In Krishna district too TDP activists staged protests condemning the arrest of Mr. Hazare.
