EC orders CID probe into TDP’s ‘false’ campaign

Must read

The Election Commission (EC) has ordered the Crime Investigation Department (CID) to investigate a complaint filed by YSRCP MLA Malladi Vishnu. The complaint alleges that the TDP has been running a campaign spreading false information via paid IVRS calls against the Land Titling Act. This Act has been opposed by the TDP and Jana Sena Party, who fear it could be misused by the ruling YSRCP government to take land from the underprivileged.
Despite assurances from Chief Minister Jagan that the Act won’t lead to land seizures, the TDP and JSP continue to spread misinformation on social media. TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu has even pledged to repeal the Act if his party comes back to power. The complaint has been forwarded to the CID for necessary action. Vishnu reported that voters have received automated calls urging them to vote for Chandrababu Naidu instead of Jagan, citing false claims about the Land Titling Act leading to wealth loss and government seizure of land records.
The complaint suggests that this misinformation campaign is part of the opposition’s political agenda.
