Later MLA Ganta spoke to media saying that the govt is taking revenge on TDP leaders.

"Nalanda Kishore is a very close friend of mine. If govt wants to take revenge on me then arrest me, I will face it, instead of me why target my friends and supporters. What was the reason for arrested Kishore at midnight with civil police without the dress code? Just he forwarded a post. He didn't create the post. How can they arrest him? Many people were forwarding many posts, how many can be arrested by CID ?" questioned Rao.

"Kishore shifting to Vijayawada from Visakhapatnam, what's the secret behind arrests in the name of social media posts," asked Rao to the government. (ANI)
