| Controversy | Corruption allegations and arrestIn September 2023, Naidu, along with former minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao and his son Ganta Raviteja, was taken into custody by the CID of the Andhra Pradesh police because of his alleged involvement in Rs. 371 crore skill development scam case. According to sources, an FIR was lodged against a few ministers, including Naidu, in 2021 in which the complainant claimed that Naidu masterminded the scam through the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) to provide training to unemployed youth in the state. An arrest warrant was issued for Chandrababu Naidu under Section 50 (1) (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), preventing him from seeking bail. Following his arrest, Naidu refuted the claims as false and baseless and said that he was innocent.[1]India TodayHe wrote on X,”For the past 45 years, I have selflessly served Telugu people. I am prepared to sacrifice my life to safeguard the interests of the Telugu people.
