He told the court that he had complained to Union home minister Amit Shah and Governor Biswabhushan Harichandan stating that he was facing threat to his life.
In a span of two years since 2019, the Jagan government had filed as many as 25 cases against him.
“Even when I took part in agitations on public issues and in the TDP programmes, the government foisted cases against me, as if I had committed major crimes,” he alleged.
He demanded that the court take appropriate action against the top leaders in the government and also the police officers for targeting him personally out of sheer vengeance.
Chintamaneni had been send to jail several cases, but he had come out on bail following the intervention of the high court.
Yet, the government was witch-hunting him, he alleged and told the court there was an attempt to kill him in fake encounter in the past.
