The answer is yes, indeed, if you closely examine the political and legal developments in the state. The questions raised by the ACB court Justice regarding the Skill Development scam have revealed the haste of the AP government.
According to media reports, the judge asked the Assistant Attorney General (AAG) to present the primary evidence of criminal charges against Chandrababu in the Skill Development case. The AAG appeared unable to provide satisfactory answers, and the ACB judge expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s arguments.
Every political party initially took Chandrababu’s arrest lightly, assuming that TDP cadre would stage some protests in AP and then go silent. However, their assumptions have been proven wrong. Even after three weeks of CBN’s arrest, protests continue in various places. Telangana and Karnataka have seen significant protests against the illegal detention of CBN.
These developments are intensifying the political climate, particularly for BRS and BJP. KTR initially made satirical comments after the arrest, but now he has changed his tone and started praising NTR. Other ministers like Harish Rao and Talasaani have also condemned CBN’s arrest.
Many impartial Telugu-speaking individuals strongly believe that BJP played a role in CBN’s arrest. This is causing irreparable political damage to the BJP in Telangana and Karnataka.
For instance, when observing the Gangavathi protest on October 2nd, it seemed more like a protest in AP or Telangana rather than in Karnataka. A significant number of Telugu-speaking people participated in the protest in support of CBN.
The BJP may lose the support of Telugu-speaking voters in the upcoming general elections. Given all these developments, it is expected that CBN will be released soon, possibly within this week.
