Recently, Mr. Naidu announced that he will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections along with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance and the Janata Party.

KT Rama Rao shared the TDP chief’s 2019 social media post and said: “No one could have said it better than Chandrababu Naidu Garu below.”

Mr. Naidu, in his X post in 2019, had condemned the misuse of CBI and ED to silence opposition leaders ahead of the then Lok Sabha elections.

“The misuse of agencies like the CBI and ED to harm opposition leaders and their families ahead of the 2019 general elections is deeply disturbing and shows how despicable the BJP is in its political vendetta. What is questionable is the nature of these attacks. Timing. Why now?” Mr Naidu said in the 2019 post.
