Despite 230 complaints lodged, SRCP files fresh complaint with EC

YSRCP leaders lodged a formal complaint with the Election Commission, urging action against TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, a vernacular online channel, and a vernacular newspaper on Sunday for allegedly resorting to verbal abuse and tarnishing the reputation of Chief Minister and YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, which they claim is a clear violation of election regulations.
MLA Malladi Vishnu, YSRCP Legal Cell State president Manohar Reddy, and party grievance cell president Narayana Murthy jointly filed the complaint, providing evidence to support their allegations before election officials.
Vishnu accused Chandrababu Naidu of making personal and derogatory remarks against Chief Minister YS Jagan during campaign meetings in Chittoor and Nandyala, employing abusive language that violates the model code of conduct. He noted that despite lodging previous complaints with the EC regarding Naidu’s objectionable language, no change in behaviour has been observed. Furthermore, he highlighted the publication of manipulated images of Jagan Reddy by a vernacular daily, demanding criminal action against such acts.
In addition, Vishnu stated that a complaint has been filed against a vernacular digital channel for broadcasting a false survey targeting CM Jagan and the YSRCP. Despite lodging a total of 230 complaints with the EC, Vishnu expressed disappointment at the lack of firm action from the commission.
Manohar Reddy echoed Vishnu’s sentiments, asserting that numerous complaints have been lodged with the Election Commission concerning the alleged misconduct of the NDA alliance. However, he lamented the absence of any action taken by the commission. Reddy pointed out discrepancies in the commission’s response, citing instances where action was taken against police personnel following the involvement of actor Allu Arjun, yet no such action was taken when actor Ramcharan campaigned in Pithapuram. Reddy concluded by urging the Election Commission to demonstrate impartiality in addressing their grievances.Z
