Former MLA and senior TDP leader Dhulipalla Narendra blamed the Rajamahendravaram jail officials on the health of TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu.
Speaking to the media at Guntur on Saturday, Narendra said that the jail officials were even threatening the doctors of the Rajamahendravaram government general hospital. They were forcing the doctors to change the medical reports of Naidu, he alleged.
He said that the state government had appointed Ravi Kiran Reddy, a relative of finance minister Buggana Rajendranath, as jail’s DIG, days before Chandrababu Naidu was arrested. Similarly, Minister Adimulapu Suresh relative Babji was made director of the health department, he said.
With all these officials, the state government was playing with the health of Chandrababu Naidu. He said that the officials were tampering with the health records of Chandrababu Naidu in the jail.
He expressed concern over the health of the TDP chief and wanted an outsider to examine Chandrababu Naidu. He wanted the courts to send private doctors to check Chandrababu Naidu in the jail and give their report.
He recalled the letter of Chandrababu Naidu to the ACB court in Vijayawada wherein he expressed serious doubts over his security in the jail and his health condition.
Narendra demanded thorough enquiry into the health of Chandrababu Naidu. He criticised the government for forcing the doctors to change the records. He also alleged that some of the ruling party leaders were openly saying that Naidu will die in jail. This indicates the state government’s conspiracy against the TDP chief, he said.
The TDP former MLA appealed to the Union government to intervene and provide security to Chandrababu Naidu in the jail. He said that Naidu is one of the Z Plus security persons in the country and it would be the responsibility of the Central government to take care of his security.
