The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India, alleging unauthorized phone tapping by the Andhra Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Jagan Reddy. The accusation came to light after TDP National General Secretary Nara Lokesh reported that Apple had alerted him about the second attempt to tap his phone, suggesting involvement by state agencies. This incident has sparked concerns over privacy and the misuse of power in the state. In a related development, the AIADMK has also accused the Tamil Nadu Intelligence Wing of illegal phone interception targeting opposition leaders, demanding action from the Election Commission.
