YSRCP files complaints against Balayya, Pawan

YSRCP leaders lodged two separate complaints against Telugu Desam MLA from Hindupur N Balakrishna and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan for making abusive and derogatory remarks against Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in violation of the election rules. YSRCP legal cell State president Manohar Reddy with other leaders lodged two separate complaints against Balakrishna and Pawan Kalyan on Monday. Manohar Reddy in the complaint said that Nandamuri Balakrishna continues to engage in an election campaign that is replete with personal remarks and which cannot be complete without personal attacks against our Party President Jagan Reddy and YSR Congress Party contesting candidates. He said they requested the Election Commission to look into the campaign speech of Balakrishna on 13.04.2024 at the Kadiri Public Meeting in their official political campaign for the violations of the Model Code of Conduct and take appropriate action. Similarly Manohar Reddy stated that Pawan Kalyan has drawn alarming parallels between the incident in Sri Lanka, where anti-government protesters overran and ransacked the Sri Lankan President’s official residence, and the residence of CM Jagan in Tadepalli. He pointed out that these remarks are not only inflammatory but are also designed to incite the public and the party’s cadre to engage in extrajudicial actions against CM Jagan at his home. It is important to note that such comments exceed the bounds of acceptable political discourse and are likely to provoke attacks on Jagan Mohan Reddy and his family. Manohar Reddy stated they requested the Election Commission to look into the campaign speech of Pawan Kalyan on 14.04.2024 in the Tenali Assembly constituency in the Guntur District and the violations of the Model Code of Conduct by making inflammatory and personal remarks and take appropriate action.
