Ex-CM Naidu accuses Jagan govt of phone tapping; urges PM to order inquiry

"The people of AP are facing a grave threat under the rule of YSRCP. Ever since the YSRC came to power, there has been a systematic and concerted attack on the democratic institutions," he said

Alleging that the ruling YSR Congress in Andhra Pradesh was resorting to illegal tapping of phones to further its political gains, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting that the Centre order an inquiry by a competent body to check the illegal acts.

"It appears that the ruling YSRC has now even targeted judiciary, the third pillar of the democracy, as it is facing hurdles from the judiciary," the TDP president alleged in the letter, a copy of which was also marked to Union Communications and Law Minister Ravishankar Prasad.
