Is the Chandrababu Naidu government resorting to telephone tapping of political adversaries, officials, media houses and businessmen who are critical of TDP?
The answer is yes, according to the suspicion of the YSR Congress party. “
‘We have authentic information that the government has been tapping the telephones of opposition party leaders and adversaries of TDP who are critical about the government functioning and has been intruding into the personal lives of the people,” party leader Bhumana Karunakara Reddy said on Friday.
The government has been tapping phones of not just YSRCP leaders but also leaders of TDP who are critical of Chandrababu Naidu, who was named in the cash for vote case, and BJP leaders as well.
The state is also putting a tab on media houses and journalists and we have authentic information about it and demand that the Chief Minister categorically deny it.
The state has also put under scanner police and IAS officials besides businessmen and has been gathering information on their personal life which the law does not allow.
The age-old Telegraph Act was used against anti-nationals and Chandrababu Naidu has been trying to take advantage of it, he said and warned the bureaucrats, police officials and others to be alert.
We are sharing this information as it has come from a very authentic source and have no intention of gaining any political mileage, he said.
