The Court restraints remain

Chandrababu Naidu has been released from Rajahmundry Central Jail after the High Court granted him interim bail on health grounds. This bail will be in effect until November 28th, at which point he must surrender. The High Court has explicitly instructed Naidu to only focus on receiving treatment in the hospital during this interim bail period. Additionally, the court has prohibited him from using or speaking on the phone, participating in political activities, or speaking to the media.

The support of Party cadre

Large numbers of Telugu Desam Party supporters and cadre gathered at Rajahmundry Central Jail during Naidu’s release. State TDP President Atchannaidu, MLA’s Gorantla Bucchayya Chowdary and Nandamuri Balakrishna, as well as former MLA Chintamaneni Prabhakar, were also present to welcome CBN. The police struggled to control the mob. Naidu was released from jail at around 4pm on Tuesday, October 31st, and subsequently left for Vijayawada. He had been arrested by CID in connection with an alleged scam worth Rs. 371 crore in the AP Skill Development Corporation, and had served 52 days in judicial custody at Rajahmundry Central Prison.

As the party still has to wait for other cases to come to court, the interim bail on skill development scam is a relief for the time being. The party cadre soon took it to social media to show their support with hashtags like #babuIsBack and #CBNSatyamevaJayate.
