The High Court of Andhra Pradesh has dismissed the two petitions filed by the BJP and the TDP seeking cancellation of the April 17 Tirupati by-election. Both the parties have sought the nullification of the bypoll saying that the ruling YCP resorted to large scale use of bogus voters. The court held hearings on the petitions today and ruled that it would not be able to interfere with the election process at this juncture.
BJP candidate and retired IAS officer K. Ratna Prabha filed the first petition seeking a fresh notification for the election. Her advocates brought to the notice of the court that there was vide evidence to show how the ruling YCP leaders brought outsiders to vote in the Tirupati parliamentary constituency.
It was for the first time that Ratna Prabha contested in the direct election after she was retired as the Chief Secretary of Karnataka state. The BJP Delhi leaders have promised to give all their support to her candidature. Her election managers were also forced to complain to the Central Election Commission on the bogus voters problem. Finally, she filed the petition in the court.
The TDP also filed its petition and complained against the serious election violations resorted to by the YCP leaders. The Congress also made serious allegations against bogus voting but it did not go to the court.
Correct గ చేసింది , లేకుంటే ఇంకా ప్రజల సొమ్ము బొక్క , మల్లి దొంగ ఓట్లేస్తారు. మనకి టాక్స్ లు ఎక్కువ అవుతాయి అంతే. వేస్ట్ అఫ్ టైం. మల్లి జనాలు tip Paul పది ఓట్లెయ్యలి.
What about those videos of bus loads of outsiders who came to vote in Tirupati? The court should at least look at the first hand evidence available. People will lose confidence in the elections if this goes on and on and on..
Yeah well. Who bought those people ? No one said they are from YCP, TDP or BJP.
those videos are useless because it took outside of pooling booth . you have to catch fake votes inside the booth and handover to the police . for publicity purpose if you do videos it is only usefull for TDP channels and social media paid campaigns .
