TDP complains to EC against YSRCP

Telugu Desam MLA, Payyavula Keshav, penned a letter to the Chief Election Officer, ECI, expressing concern about the pressure exerted by YSR Congress leaders on Uravakonda police officials to fabricate false cases, especially those about SC/ST issues, to restrain TDP cadre from engaging in active political activities during campaign tours.
He also highlighted that YSRC leaders are compelling officials to reopen rowdy sheets against the TDP cadre, summon TDP sympathizers to police stations to bind over cases, and facilitate the closure of rowdy sheets against YSRC activists. Keshav said, “Unless the local police officials and election authorities align with the expectations of the public and adhere to the instructions of ECI, New Delhi, there is a serious risk of the entire electoral process being marred by violence and unlawful activities,” he wrote.
