Hyderabad: Hitting out at AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s effort to “spread lies” in New Delhi, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday said the Modi-led government at the Centre would not support a “thief” like him who tried to “bribe” legislators to win MLC polls.

Taking on Mr Naidu over every comment he made in New Delhi, Mr Rao said the AP CM was caught red-handed and the law would take its own course. Referring to Mr Naidu’s comments that if he was arrested, it would be the last day for the TRS government, Mr Rao retorted, “What authority does he have to speak like that against a democratically-elected government? Is he the President? This shows his arrogance and high-handedness, which is intolerable.”
