YSRCP leaders lodged complaints with Special Investigation Team (SIT) chief Vineet Brijlal, urging stringent action against TDP leaders and activists for their alleged involvement in poll violence, and against police officials who they claim colluded with the TDP alliance.
A delegation of YSRCP leaders, including Ministers Ambati Rambabu and Jogi Ramesh, former Ministers Perni Venkataramaiah (Nani) and Ravela Kishore Babu, MLAs Malladi Vishnu and Kayle Anil Kumar, MLC Lella Appi Reddy, and Party Legal Cell State President Manohar Reddy, met with SIT Chief Vineet Brijlal to express their concerns.
The YSRCP leaders accused G Bindu Madhav, who served as Additional Superintendent of Police in Palnadu, of favouring the TDP.
They claimed Madhav, along with Inspector General of Police Sarvashresth Tripathi, intimidated subordinate officers to support TDP activities.
They alleged that both officers instructed field officers not to act against TDP members, leading to uncontrolled violence.
Minister Ambati Rambabu stated that collusion between some police officers and TDP leaders resulted in violent incidents in Tirupati, Palnadu, and Anantapur. He asserted that BJP AP president Daggubati Purandareswari and TDP chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu pressured for changes in police officials, which led to clashes.
Rambabu emphasized that changing IPS officers in such a manner was suspicious and indicated a failure in the police system, which he claimed had become part of the TDP’s election strategy.
Rambabu highlighted an incident where TDP supporters allegedly destroyed CCTV cameras at the house of YSRCP MLA Kethireddy Pedda Reddy in Anantapur. He criticized the filing of false cases against YSRCP members and called for an investigation into the call data of Circle Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors in the affected areas.
Minister Jogi Ramesh accused TDP leaders, including Chandrababu Naidu, of trying to manipulate the election process due to a lack of public support, resulting in violent attacks.
Former Minister Ravela Kishore Babu claimed that TDP operatives forcibly expelled BCs, Dalits, and minorities from villages to prevent them from voting for YSRCP. Both leaders demanded strict action against those responsible for the violence and alleged atrocities.
