Congress allowed Naidu to divert attention from Jagan’s odarpu yatra : Shiv Sena

In an editorial in Saamna, the party mouthpiece, the Sena said that the Congress government in Maharashtra was soft on the Chandrababu Naidu issue to help divert attention from the statewide political rallies by Andhra Pradesh Congress leader and MP Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

According to the Sena, if the Congress was so serious about taking action against Naidu and his men, they should have been strict with them from day one – July 16 – when they sneaked through the Nanded border.

‘Before shifting them to Aurangabad, the state government should have made Naidu wear prison clothes, give a bow for food and a mug for water. They would have broken the locks of the jail and decamped from there the very first night,’ it said.

Instead, the state government succumbed to Naidu’s tantrums and accepted all his demands, including travelling in air-conditioned vehicles, good lodging and boarding, the editorial noted.

To top it, the Maharashtra government not only dropped all charges against Naidu and his men, but also chartered a special aircraft to send them back to Hyderabad, it added.
