TDP demands arrest of Prof Kodandaram

TDP on Monday demanded the arrest of Prof Kodandaram for his provocative and inciting speeches which were threatening peace in the society

Senior party leader T Devender Goud said that the police should arrest Telangana Political Joint Action Committee Chairman Prof Kodandaram for his speeches which are highly provocative.

Taking objection to Prof. Kodandaram’s call to obstruct Chandrababu Naidu’s Rythu porubata in Karimnagar district scheduled to begin from December 27, he told reporters at NTR Trust Bhavan that such tactics were not reasonable.

Describing Prof Kodandaram’s call to obstruct Naidu’s Rythu porubata as `irresponsible,’ he asked him to withdraw his comments immediately against Naidu.

“TDP president Chandrababu Naidu was visiting Karimnagar, where nearly 50 farmers committed suicide due to drought, to meet the farmers affected in the recent drought and apprise them of the avenues left to tackle the situation,’ he said.

He said the TRS has managed to bring huge number of anti-social elements at Krimnagar to place hurdles in the path of the padayatra of Naidu. “The TRS leadership is resorting to such cheap stunts to retain their prestige in Karimangar in the backdrop of successful Rythu padayatra of Naidu in other Telangana districts. It is a shame that Kodandaram, who was an academician, should speak such language in his political avatar,” he said.
