Chandrababu Naidu, TDP leaders refuse to seek bail
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and other party members on Saturday decided not to seek bail and continue to be in detention.
The TDP chief arrested along with 75 other politicians, including MPs, state legislators and former ministers, by Maharashtra police on Friday for violating prohibitory orders.
They were taken into preventive custody as they tried to visit the Babli dam in Maharashtra to find out whether Maharashtra is grabbing more than its share of water from the River Godavari.
Naidu had launched a "bus yatra" from Andhra Pradesh border to enter Maharashtra, following which the district administration went into a high alert.
The leaders were produced before a magistrate after they refused to sign on blank bond papers.
According to reports, the magistrate offered bail to the leaders by directing them to return to Andhra Pradesh.
However, the TDP leaders refused to leave Maharashtra till they were allowed to inspect the Babli dam. (ANI)

Naidu did not ask PRP to join Babli protest: Chiru
TIRUPATI: PRP president K Chiranjeevi said his party was not invited by TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu to take part in the Babli protest in Maharashtra and described the actions of the TDP as a stunt to garner political mileage.
Chiranjeevi was reacting to a reported charge by the TDP that PRP leaders did not join the protest despite being invited. "Being a senior politician, I think he knows how to invite another party president. Since he wants to garner political mileage out of the Babli issue, he did not invite us," the PRP chief told the media here on Saturday.
Further, he said when chief minister K Rosaiah has called for an all party meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on July 23, there was no necessity for the TDP to stage this protest.
However, he condemned the arrests of Naidu and his MLAs by the Maharashtra government.
Earlier on Friday night, the PRP chief had walked all the way up the Tirumala hills via Alipiri and took seven hours to reach the holy hill town. The local legislator stopped at various places all along the 8 km hill route and inspected the sanitation and drinking water facilities provided by TTD for pilgrims along the route. The MLA expressed satisfaction but felt that a lot more facilities should be provided for pilgrims. He said that TTD should make special arrangements for women who were walking up the hills carrying infants.
Later, he stood in queue at Sudarshan token counter and went for darshan of Lord Venkateswara. TTD gives priority darshan priority to those who come on foot. To personally verify this, Chiranjeevi is said to have chosen the Sudarshan token darshan rather than the VIP darshan.
After the first walkathon to Tirumala, he said: "I felt exhausted as I walked over 15 km at a stretch from Leela Mahal junction to Tirumala. About two decades ago, I would regularly trek to Sabarimala in Kerala. Between 1981 till 1999, I used to visit Sabarimalai every year. It has been a decade since I undertook a similar exercise. Now, I think I still have the stamina,'' he said in a lighter vein.

Naidu refuses bail, says will either visit dam site or stay jailed
AURANGABAD: TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu and other party leaders were sent to two days' judicial custody by a Dharmabad court in Nanded district of Maharastra on Saturday after they refused to seek bail.
However, Nanded SP Sandeep Karnik told TOI, if the TDP leaders sign personal bonds and submit them to the police, as instructed by the court, they will be released forthwith. "But they have not yet furnished the personal bonds," he added.
Nanded additional collector Ajay Gulhane, said the ITI campus, where the TDP leaders have been kept after their arrest, has been declared a prison for men and the government rest house for women TDP members.
Dharmabad chief judicial magistrate Deepak Mata on Saturday sent Naidu and 65 others, including two MPs and 43 MLAs, to judicial custody till July 19.
The former Andhra Pradesh chief minister was arrested along with his supporters for violating prohibitory orders in Maharashtra's Nanded on Friday. They were planning to visit the Babhali barrage irrigation project in Dharmabad for an "inspection".
Earlier, after hours of high drama, state officials requested the Dharmabad court to move to the ITI campus to conduct the hearing. Following this, the court was set up on the ITI premises.
Around 11 am on Saturday, Naidu was to be taken to the Dharmabad court, where he was expected to seek bail. He, however, refused to move out of the ITI campus, insisting that he be allowed to visit the Babhali barrage site or sent to jail.

TDP calls for AP bandh to protest Naidu's arrest
TDP calls for AP bandh to protest Naidu's arrest
Telugu Desam Party has called a bandh in Andhra Pradesh on Monday in protest against the arrest of party president N Chandrababu Naidu and 74 legislators by Maharashtra police.
TDP senior leaders in Hyderabad held an emergency meeting at the party headquarters here this evening and finalised the action programme. They also had a teleconference with Chandrababu Naidu who was remanded to two days judicial custody by a court in Dharmabad in Maharashtra.
"We appeal to the people to co-operate and make the agitation a success," Yanamala said.
Meanwhile, information reaching here said the arrested TDP leaders were refusing to be lodged as separate groups in different prisons in Maharashtra.
"We shall all stay together. Take us to only one prison wherever it is," they reportedly told the Maharashtra police.
"We have been informally told by the police that they will continue our detention in the Dharmabad ITI itself. They seem to be making some arrangements for this, with separate facilities for the women legislators," one of the arrested MLAs told PTI over phone.
Media personnel from Hyderabad who followed the TDP delegation on the tour said the Babli Bachao Samiti activists asked them to leave Dharmabad immediately.
"The Samiti workers are forcibly sending away the broadcasting vehicles parked at Dharmabad to block the coverage of the happenings there," a journalist said over phone.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan has called the former Andhra Pradesh chief minister's action as being politically motivated.
"There are elections around the corner in Andhra Pradesh which is why this issue has emerged again. Let's not look at it politically," Chavan said.
He added that the case was already with the Supreme Court and hence should be judged on the basis of its merit.
