Opposition leader and TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu has been reportedly detained by Renigunta police at Tirupati airport in Renigunta while he was on his way to attend election campaigning in Chittoor district.
The police, who denied permission for the TDP chief to stage protests at both Tirupati and Chittoor, did not allow him to leave the airport.
According to reports, Naidu was going to stage a protest against the alleged excesses of the ruling YSRC leaders on the TDP cadre to withdraw their nominations from the ensuing elections to Urban Local Bodies in Andhra Pradesh.
Naidu squatted inside the airport and is reportedly staging a protest against the police denying permission and not allowing him to proceed to Tirupati town.
