Hyderabad: Terming the death of former Speaker of Andhra Pradesh, Kodela Siva Prasada Rao, who allegedly committed suicide, as "murder," TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday demanded a CBI investigation into the circumstances leading to the incident.

Blaming the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government for the death of Rao, Naidu said, "I have seen 11 CMs in my career and I my self have held the post for so many years. I have never seen such a chief minister ( Jaganmohan Reddy). This (suicide) is nothing but murder by the government."

should debate on the government's attitude," he told reporters here.
