They are angry with Naidu

Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu's remarks that the Collectors are acting like Congress agents has kicked up a row at the Collectors' conference being held at Hyderabad on Tuesday.

Several Collectors found fault with Naidu for making such a comment. They said government was a continuous process, irrespective of change in the ruling parties. "We don't have our own personal agenda. Our duty is only to implement the agenda given by the government of the day. Once the election code of conduct comes into force, we all come under the authority of Election Commission. We cannot side with any political party. How can Naidu attribute motives to us?" a Collector argued angrily.

Ministers Anam Ramnarayan Reddy and Botsa Satyanarayana lashed out at Naidu for trying to blackmail the officials.
