Ex-Council chairman deplores raid on Narayana’s house
Former chairman of Legislative Council MA Shariff on Saturday condemned the police raid on former minister P Narayana’s house in Nellore.
The senior TDP leader said the raid clearly reflected the personal animosity of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy against Narayana and his vendetta politics. “It is really atrocious that a team of 100 police personnel, led by five DSPs and eight inspectors, took part in the raid without the permission of the court,” he said.
