Hyderabad, July 20: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu landed in Hyderabad tonight, five days after he was arrested at Dharmabad in Maharashtra in connection with the controversial Babhli dam issue.
The special chartered flight hired by the Maharashtra government brought Naidu and his party leaders from Aurangabad and touched the airstrip at Hyderabad International airport at Shamshabad at 10 pm.
Naidu’s wife Bhuvaneswari and son Lokesh Babu were among scores of TDP leaders and workers who received him. TDP supporters, who turned up in a large number at the airport, raised slogans against the Congress and the Maharashtra Government.
A heavy police force was posted at the airport.
The TDP chief and his supporters were arrested in Dharmabad for violating prohibitory orders and insisting on visiting the controversial Babhli barrage site in Nanded district on Saturday.
