N Chandrababu Naidu

AMARAVATI: Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu made a sensational statement on Tuesday hinting that the deadly bid on his life in 2003 at Alipiri could have been planned by his one-time political arch-rival, former CM the late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy .

However, probe into the attack on October 1, 2003, had revealed that it was executed by People's War Group naxalites. That was the second time that the ultras had made a bid on Naidu's life.

Stopping short of directly accusing the late former CM of masterminding the attack, Naidu said there was a possibility that YSR might have had a role to play in it.
