Why YSRCP leaders are getting scared of TDP’s teaser, asks Dhulipala Narendra

Ministers in the State Cabinet are shell-shocked at the mere teaser released by TDP supremo, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, at Mahanadu in the name of Guarantee to the Future of the People and the State and when the real film is out Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy and his batch have to pack up their baggage, former MLA and TDP senior leader, Dhulipalla Narendra Kumar, remarked on Tuesday.

Narendra told media persons at the party headquarters here that when Chandrababu began talking about the future of the people, Jagan and his team began trembling about their future. About 15 Cabinet Ministers have come out openly on the mere TDP teaser and this is a clear indication that those who are in the ruling are getting scared of the TDP and Chandrababu Naidu, he stated.

“Why are the Ministers going berserk and tearing off the papers containing the points announced by Chandrababu. The TDP supremo is only making certain attempts to come to the rescue of those who have fallen victim to the barbaric rule of Jagan,” the former MLA said.

Chandrababu, making Mahanadu as a platform, had only announced certain schemes to save those who have lost everything in the past four years, he said and asked as to why the Chief Minister and his Cabinet colleagues are becoming nervous on this.

Except looting the State and taking the innocent people for a ride, Jagan and his Government did nothing for the State in the past four years, Narendra remarked. Stating that the Polavaram project, which is the lifeline of the people of the State, has turned into a barrage after Ambati Rambabu has become the Minister for Irrigation, the TDP senior leader felt that this inefficient Amabati Rambabu has no right to talk about Chandrababu.

Dhulipala Narendra asked YSRCP MLA, Kodali Nani, as to why he was removed from the Cabinet by Mr Jagan. “Naani should always remember that he is able to open his mouth now only due to the B-Form issued by Chandrababu,” the TDP leader remarked.

When severe attacks were made against the Backward Classes (BCs) during Jagan regime, Minister for Housing, Jogi Ramesh did not open his mouth but now he is vying with others to tear the copies of the TDP manifesto, Narendra maintained.

Avinash Reddy writes to CBI, seeks 10 days time

Kadapa MP Y S Avinash Reddy on Sunday wrote to the CBI seeking 10 days time for him to attend their questioning. He cited the health grounds of his mother, who is currently in the hospital.

This was the third request from Avinash Reddy to the CBI seeking more time. He is now a suspect in the former minister Y S Vivekananda Reddy murder and the CBI had been questioning him in the case. However, the CBI is yet to respond to this letter.

He was scheduled to attend the CBI questioning in its Koti office in Hyderabad early this week but was deferred once on the grounds that the notice was given in a short time. The second time, he skipped the questioning stating that his mother fell sick, and he had to take her to the hospital.

The CBI had already levelled charges of conspiracy against Avinash Reddy on political grounds. The CBI alleged that Avinash Reddy and his father Bhaskara Reddy did not like Vivekananda Reddy intervening in the party issues and raising objections for Avinash Reddy’s candidature for the Kadapa MP seat in 2019.

The CBI alleged that Vivekananda Reddy wanted to contest the election or wanted either Vijayamma or Sharmila to contest and not Avinash Reddy. This argument of Vivekananda Reddy went against the interests of Avinash Reddy, who along with his father Bhaskara Reddy, hatched the plan to eliminate the former minister.

The CBI also produced documental evidence drawn from the google network to prove that the accused Anil Yadav was with Avinash Reddy on the day Vivekananda Reddy was murdered. Anil Yadav is one of the accused in the case.

Nellore deputy mayor warns former minister Anil

Internal squabbles in the ruling YSR Congress in Nellore district have come to the fore once again on Saturday. Former minister and Nellore urban sitting MLA, P Anil Kumar Yadav, is facing stiff opposition from his own uncle and Nellore Municipal Corporation deputy mayor Rupa Kumar Yadav.

Both Anil Kumar and Rupa Kumar have locked horns months ago and their fight is open and is known to everyone, including party chief Jagan Mohan Reddy. The chief minister himself had intervened and tried unsuccessfully to bring the warring groups together. He tried to cement the relationship between the two leaders in vain.

The difference between the sitting MLA Anil Kumar and the deputy mayor came to the flash point on Friday with some unidentified persons attacking a supporter of the deputy mayor. The deputy mayor visited the injured party activist in the government general hospital and consoled the family.

Later, he alleged that the attack was the handiwork of sitting MLA Anil Kumar. He further alleged that Anil Kumar’s men have attacked his supporter and injured him. “If I start retaliation, no one will be able to take it,” the angry deputy mayor told the media.

He said that the sitting MLA was behind the attack and warned the MLA and his supporters of a fitting reply. “Stop this nonsense or else, I will start giving you back,” the deputy mayor said, giving a tough warning to his nephew and former minister Anil Kumar Yadav.

It is to be seen how the party would handle this situation in Nellore and elsewhere in the state. There are at least 20 MLAs who are facing such dissent from their own party leaders across the state.

Two YSRCP vehicles enter Naidu’s convoy

There was a breach of security in former chief minister and leader of opposition N Chandrababu Naidu’s convoy on Thursday. Two vehicles belonging to the ruling YSR Congress leaders, entered Chandrababu Naidu’s convoy, as security personnel remained silent.

This happened when Chandrababu Naidu was going to Tanuku in West Godavari district on Thursday from his home in Undavalli. Chandrababu Naidu is scheduled to participate in an agitation programme in Tanuku on Friday in support of the farmers.

Chandrababu Naidu had visited the Godavari districts last week and consoled the farmers who were badly hit by the untimely rains. The standing crops and harvested crops too were damaged due to rains. He demanded that the government procure the damaged crops and pay compensation to the farmers.

In support of the demand, the TDP chief was going to Tanuku, when two vehicles belonging to the ruling party leaders joined the convoy. The two vehicles entered the convoy at Unguturu in Eluru district. The vehicles continued in the convoy till Tadepalli Gudem of West Godavari district.

The escort police who were following the convoy did not object to the two vehicles entering the convoy and remained silent. The vehicles left the convoy at Tadepalli Gudem. The police are now investigating the security breach and are trying to find out the details of the two vehicles.

Andhra Pradesh HC grants bail to TDP leaders in chit fund case

The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday granted bail to former Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLC Adireddy Appa Rao and his son and TDP state executive secretary Adireddy Srinivasa Rao in a case relating to financial irregularities in a chit fund company.

They were arrested by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Andhra Pradesh on April 30. They had filed a petition for bail and the High Court had completed hearing on the same two days ago.

Appa Rao, the husband of TDP Rajahmundry MLA Adireddy Bhavani, and their son Srinivasa Rao, are directors in Jagajjanani Chit Funds Private Limited.

During the hearing on the bail petition, the counsel of the TDP leaders argued that the Depositors Act does not apply in the case. They also argued that a case was registered against them without any complaint lodged by depositors.

On behalf of the state government, Advocate General Sriram submitted to the court that the accused diverted money of the depositors for other purposes.

The main opposition TDP had condemned the arrests. TDP national president and former chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu spoke to Bhavani over phone and expressed solidarity with her.

Naidu said that the political harassment and vendetta by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government is increasing by the day. He lamented that there is no change in the ruling party’s behaviour.

The TDP president had said the YSRCP government believed only in illegal cases and illegal arrests. He said the arrest of Appa Rao and Srinivasa Rao is another example of the YSRCP government’s politics of vendetta.

The TDP chief said despite courts reprimanding the government on many occasions, the Jagan government has not mended its ways.

Balineni standing at the exit door of YSR Congress!

Balineni standing at the exit door of YSR Congress!

Former minister and Ongole MLA Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, is now standing at the exit door of the ruling YSR Congress, if the recent developments are any indication. His recent press conference also suggests that he is not happy with the leadership and is looking for a reason to bid adieu.

The other day, his supporters inaugurated a drinking water kiosk in Ongole town for the summer and have put up banners in the town. What is intriguing is that none of the banners carried the photographs of party supremo and chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. The posters also do not have the name of the party.

He made a request to the party leadership to check his critics within the party. He said that his critics were causing damage to his reputation in the district. Once friends, some leaders have turned foes to him causing him a lot of pain, he said.

Though he did not mention any name, his fingers are pointing at Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development, Adimulapu Suresh. The Ongole MLA is upset with the chief minister dropping him from the cabinet and continuing with Suresh. In fact, dropping him did not pain him as much as continuing Suresh, if one analyses Balineni’s statements.

Balineni had already resigned to his regional coordinator post representing Prakasam, Nellore and Kadapa districts. He claimed health grounds to leave the post, but the fact is that he is not happy with minister Suresh in the district politics.

The Minister and the former ministers are not doing well in district politics. The minister seems to have taken over the role of Balineni much to the latter’s chagrin.

Balineni is also not happy the way Jagan Mohan Reddy had responded to his grievance when they met some time last week. Sources say that there is another meeting on cards between Balineni and Jagan Mohan Reddy some time this fortnight.

It is to be seen whether Balineni would swallow the pain or bid adieu to the party as he stands at the exit door of the party.

Balineni wants his critics to be silenced

Former minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, who is sulking in the YSR Congress, wanted the party leadership to take action against those criticising him. Speaking to media in Ongole on Friday, Srinivasa Reddy wanted the party leadership to check these leaders who have been causing damage to his reputation in the district.

Srinivasa Reddy closeted with chief minister and YSR Congress supremo Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, early this week. The chief minister tried to pacify the sulking leader and reportedly asked Balineni to keep differences aside and work for the party.

Sources say that the former minister had reportedly told the chief minister that some leaders in the party in Prakasam district were intentionally causing damage to his reputation. He wanted action against those leaders.

However, the former minister denied having complained against any leader. “I am not a person who complains against anyone to the leadership,” Srinivasa Reddy said. He further added that those whom he had supported in the last elections have now turned against him and are digging on his back.

Srinivasa Reddy had resigned to the post of the party regional coordinator covering Prakasam, Nellore and Kadapa districts. Though he claims that he had resigned on health grounds, Srinivasa Reddy is said to be asking for the party president post in Prakasam district. He doesn’t want to lose his grip over the party in the district which is why he resigned.

The former minister is not happy with several leaders in the district including Minister Adimulapu Suresh. The two are at loggerheads from the day Jagan Mohan Reddy dropped Balineni from the cabinet and continued with Suresh.

Sources say that Suresh is playing an upmanship in the district politics as he got the second chance to continue in the cabinet. Sources further say that Suresh had emerged as power center in the party in the district, much to the chagrin of Balineni.

It is to be seen how Jagan Mohan Reddy would resolve the issue and set the house in order in Prakasam district, as he marches towards 2024 general election.

Tadipatri MLA says party cadre lost everything for Jagan

Tadipatri MLA in Anantapur district, Ketireddy Pedda Reddy, made quite interesting political comments on Friday. He said that the party cadre have lost everything while working for the YSR Congress Party and its supremo, Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.

He made these comments at the Ellanuru police station while settling a dispute among the party workers who clashed with each other over a small issue. Pedda Reddy said that the workers have spent their resources for the party. However, the party had not come to their rescue in the last four years.

The government was not doing work in the villages and not clearing the bills for the contractors, he said. He said that he is not aware of the Fifteenth Finance Commission funds. “No one knows where these funds are going,” the ruling party MLA said.

The MLA further said that the party cadre across the state were not happy with the leadership. The government was not giving any relief to the workers and wondered how they would work for the party in the coming elections.

There is resentment among the MLAs too as several MLAs were listed to be dropped in the next election. At least 40 MLAs could not meet Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy even once in the last four years.

The representations of the MLAs are also not honoured except where the chief minister addresses a public meeting. Even the Arogyasri schemes are not cleared for several MLAs, they allege. They say that the chief minister appears to be generous in extending financial assistance to the people on health grounds, but not clearing the Arogyasri applications from the MLAs.

Four MLAs have already deferred with the party leadership and voted for the TDP in the recently held MLC elections. Sources say that there are two to three dozen MLAs who are ready to cross the fence as the election fever grips the state.

It is to be seen how Jagan Mohan Reddy would handle this resentment within the party as he readies for the bigger battle in 2024 April.

Over 1cr families participate in YSRCP survey in Andhra

Over one crore families in Andhra Pradesh participated in the survey undertaken by the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) during the last 15 days.

Two weeks after launching a one of its kind mega people’s survey named Jagananne Maa Bhavishyathu (Jagan Anna is our future), the YSRCP on Monday released an interim report. It claimed to have received a positive response on ground.

The party held several press conferences across various assembly constituencies to celebrate a significant milestone.

Vijayawada West MLA Vellampalli Srinivas said that the results of the mega survey reflect the public’s opinion and they are nothing but extraordinary.

“In just the first 15 days, one crore families participated in the survey and over 79 lakh missed calls have been received in support of CM Jagananna’s government,” he said.

Elaborating on the objective of the campaign, Macherla MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy said that YSRCP’s aim was to survey 100 per household in the state (all 1.65 crore families in the state).

The party leaders invited all to visit any village secretariat and see the response for themselves.

“CM Jagan is a credible leader who has ushered in the era of welfare. The recent exit poll results of a national TV channel which predicted an overwhelming majority for YSRCP in the upcoming polls is proof of that,” said Assembly Speaker Tammineni Sitaram.

Hitting out at the Opposition, Kamalapuram MLA Ravindranath Reddy said that the Opposition is having sleepless nights because of the positive feedback that the Jagananne Maa Bhavishyathu is getting on ground, especially in Assembly constituencies that are traditionally considered to be Opposition strongholds.

YSRCP plans to reveal the final results of the mega survey on April 29.

The party on April 7 launched the survey, in a massive exercise to reach out to five crore people ahead of next year’s elections.

About 7 lakh grassroots workers will reach out to all 1.65 crore households in the state, covering five crore population.

This is claimed to be the most expensive and on-ground campaign done by any political party in the country.

The visiting party workers are explaining to the people about a comparison between YSRCP and TDP governments by showing a pamphlet.

The workers are carrying Praja Maddathu Pusthakam or survey questionnaire for feedback. People are being asked five questions including the question whether they trust Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for their future.

At the end of the survey, the party workers would request the public to give a missed call to the party dedicated mobile number 8296082960.

As soon as they give a missed call, a voice call of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy would be received by the caller, as a token of thanks.

Pawan Kalyan demands YSRCP to apologise for anti-Telangana remarks

Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan on Monday demanded Andhra Pradesh’s ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) to tender an unconditional apology to people of Telangana for certain comments made by its leaders.

The Jana Sena Party leader found fault with the remarks made by some leaders of YSRCP in reaction to a statement by a Telangana minister.

Pawan Kalyan said that he personally felt bad about the way in which YSRCP leaders and ministers blamed people of Telangana, criticized Telangana region and used words hurting Telangana self-respect. He advised YSRCP leaders to mind their language.

The JSP leader said he always maintained that rulers and people are different. “If the Telangana minister has made remarks which are insulting to Andhra Pradesh, criticise him but don’t drag people of Telangana into any controversy,” he told YSRCP leaders.

The actor-politician demanded that senior leadership of YSRCP should respond to this. He reminded them that they have houses and businesses in Telangana.

Pawan Kalyan pointed out that Andhra Pradesh Education minister Botsa Satyanarayana, who made certain remarks in reaction to Telangana finance minister Harish Rao’s statement, had business in Telangana. The JSP leader said Botsa’s family had a cable business in Telangana.

He said if a minister says something wrong, his ministerial colleagues and the chief minister should condemn such remarks.

He said leaders from both the states should avoid making any remarks against the people of the other state.

YSRCP launches mega survey to reach out to five crore people

In a massive exercise to reach out to five crore people ahead of next year’s assembly elections, Andhra Pradesh’s ruling party YSRCP on Friday launched a state-wide survey.

Under the two-week-long campaign titled ‘Jagananne Maa Bhavishyathu’ (Jagan Anna our future), about 7 lakh grassroots workers will reach out to all 1.65 crore households in the state, covering five crore population.

These workers including a wide network of newly appointed Gruha Sarathis and ward sachivalayam conveners have been tasked with conducting the door-to-door mega survey.

This is claimed to be the most expensive and on-ground campaign done by any political party in the country.

Education Minister Botsa Satyanarayana, Rajya Sabha MP Alla Ayodhya Rami Reddy, MLC Marri Rajasekhar and Lok Sabha MP Sanjeev Kumar were present during the campaign’s launch at the YSRCP Central Office in Tadepalli.

“Never in this country has any political party dared to go in public and seek a review of their performance. We are confident of our work and the people’s support and so we will present you the result of this mega people’s survey when the campaign culminates on April 20,” MLC Marri Rajasekhar told media persons.

Groundwork for the campaign kick-started a few months ago post which YSRCP has now managed to bring all the important stakeholders on a single platform. All the grassroots soldiers were directly in contact with the party’s central office, regional coordinators as well as MLAs for the last three-four months. They underwent mandal-wise training in mission mode where they were taught how to conduct public connect programmes effectively.

Rajya Sabha MP Alla Ayodhya Rami Reddy praised the cadre for all the hard work they put in the past few months. “I congratulate all the 7 lakh YSRCP grassroots cadres for participating in this extensive campaign. We are transparent and confident of exemplary support from people in this mega survey that we are undertaking,” he said.

The education minister said the visiting party workers would explain to the people about a comparison between YSRCP and TDP governments by showing a pamphlet.

The workers will carry Praja Maddathu Pusthakam or survey questionnaire for feedback. People will be asked five questions including the question whether they trust Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for their future.

They would give acknowledgment to the participants in the survey. “Those who express their satisfaction with Chief Minister Jagan’s government will be given a receipt. Then, Gruha Saradhis will paste door and mobile stickers of Chief Minister Jagan with the permission of households,” said Botsa.

At the end of the survey, the party workers would request the public to give a missed call to the party dedicated mobile number 8296082960. As soon as they give a missed call, a voice call of the Chief Minister would be received by the caller, as a token of thanks.

Lok Sabha MP Sanjeev Kumar shared how the party came up with the slogan. “Maa Nammakam Nuvve Jagan’ is a slogan that came from the public itself during our Gadapa Gadapaku programme. This was a resounding message that we got across the state and it only proves that Chief Minister Jagan is in the hearts of people,” he said.

Give me 20 days a month, I will give you ticket, says Jagan

Chief minister and YSR Congress president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday asked his party MLAs to give him 20 days a month if they wanted the party ticket in the next elections. He told them to use those 20 days visiting every house. He wanted them to visit at least two villages in a week touching every house and every family.

Speaking to the party MLAs, district unit presidents and the regional coordinators at his camp office in Tadepalli on Monday, Jagan Mohan Reddy took strong exception to some of the MLAs who have not been active in the door-to-door programme. He wondered how they would plan to win the next election without being in constant touch with the people.

Jagan Mohan Reddy said that his government had given one or the other benefit to every family across the state. He said that the government did not discriminate against people on political lines and even the TDP voters have received some or the other benefit.

He wanted the MLAs to go to every family with the list of benefits that the family members have received in the last four years. “An active member of TDP in the village is sure of having benefited under one scheme or the other,” Jagan Mohan Reddy told his MLAs.

He asked them to knock at every door, get feedback on the government. “We have won the Kuppam Municipality and all MPTCs and ZPTCs. Have we ever expected this to happen?” he asked. He said that when the YSR Congress could win in Kuppam, why not in all the 175 Assembly constituencies.

Jagan Mohan Reddy asked the MLAs to continue the door-to-door programme till August end. He said that the party would launch a new programme from September 1. He wanted every MLA and every leader, including the MLCs and the MPs to participate in the programme.

Several YSRCP MLAs are in touch with me, says Naidu

TDP president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday said that several MLAs from the ruling YSR Congress were in constant touch with him. In an interaction with the media persons at the party office, Chandrababu Naidu said that the YSR Congress MLAs are now being treated as slaves and want to come out of slavery soon.

Chandrababu Naidu also claimed that people in the state were ready to send home chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy. He said that people are only waiting for the elections to throw Jagan out of power.

Referring to former minister Y S Vivekananda Reddy’s murder, he said that the murder is one of the biggest suspense thrillers even fiction writers can’t imagine. He asserted that there was not a single case in the country with so many twists. He said that people would lose confidence in the institutions if this case is not resolved and the criminals are not punished.

Chandrababu Naidu accused Jagan Mohan Reddy as the highly corrupt leader in the country. He said that Jagan Mohan Reddy is not the representative of the poor as he is claiming, but a representative of the criminals.

About the recent MLC elections, the TDP chief said that people have voted against the YSR Congress and Jagan Mohan Reddy’s rule. The vote in the MLC elections was a clear reflection of the vote against the government.

The TDP chief said that the party is getting ready to defeat the YSR Congress in all 175 Assembly seats in the next general election. He wanted the rank and file of the party besides the people to get ready to pack the YSR Congress and send it out of power.

Referring to the MLC election from the Assembly quota, Chandrababu Naidu said that the TDP has 23 MLAs and the party candidate received all 23 votes. He discounted the allegations of the YSR Congress that the TDP had purchased MLAs. He said that the TDP vote was intact and the allegations of the YSR Congress leaders were exposing their weakness and the fear of defeat in the next election.

Anil Says He Would Quit Politics If Any Suspended MLA Wins

Less than a week after four MLAs were suspended from the party by the YSR Congress leadership, former minister and MLA P Anil Kumar said that he would quit active politics if any of the three suspended MLAs from Nellore district won the next election.

Speaking to media persons, Anil Kumar said that the MLAs have voted for the TDP and it is known to their conscience. He contested the statements of Mekapati Chandrasekhar Reddy and Anam Ramanarayana Reddy that they did not vote against the party, the former minister said that they should ask their conscience and speak the truth.

The former minister said that the party leadership had a secret code to identify cross voting by the MLAs. The party leadership checks voting patterns by the party MLAs and it has been there for years in every MLC or Rajya Sabha elections, he asserted.

He further said that he would leave Nellore district even if one of the three suspended MLAs get elected to the Assembly in the 2024 general election. He dared the three MLAs to win the general election. He said that none of the three MLAs would get any party ticket too!

When asked about his future, Anil Kumar said that he would stay with Jagan Mohan Reddy for the rest of his political career. He said he would contest if the party gave him a ticket or would support whoever is given the ticket.

The former minister said that every MLA now had won the election with the photo of Jagan Mohan Reddy. Even in the next election too, the MLAs would win only if they have Jagan Mohan Reddy’s photo.

Suspended YSRCP MLA alleges threat to life

Suspended YSRCP MLA Undavalli Sridevi on Sunday alleged that she faces threat to her life from party general secretary and Andhra Pradesh government advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy.

A day after her office was attacked allegedly by the cadres of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in Tadikonda constituency in Guntur district, the MLA addressed a news conference in Hyderabad to target Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and Sajjala.

Alleging that she faces threat to her life from Sajjala, she said it was unfortunate that Andhra Pradesh is facing a situation where even a woman MLA has no protection. She said she would complain to the National Scheduled Caste Commission against Sajjala.

Sridevi was among four MLAs suspended from YSRCP on March 24 for voting for Telugu Desam Party (TDP) candidate in Legislative Council elections from MLA quota.

The cross-voting by four rebel MLAs of the ruling party had helped TDP win one of the seven Council seats.

Sridevi stated that YSRCP leaders were making allegations against her without maintaining decency while talking about a woman MLA. She also remarked that she will soon give a return gift to those who are alleging that she sold herself in MLC elections.

The MLA alleged that she was sent out of the party for refusing to be a “benami for YSRCP’s illegal acts and unauthorised mining”. She said that after using her for four years, the party dumped her citing MLC elections as an excuse.

She also claimed that “YSRCP goons were threatening her”.

“There is a conspiracy to send me out of the state capital region,” the MLA said.

Sridevi also announced that she will stand with Amaravati farmers who have been fighting against the government’s plans for trifurcation of state capital.

Stating that she has no plans to join any other party, she said she would fight for solving problems of the people of his constituency as an independent MLA.

YSRCP suspends rebel MLAs, Kotamreddy joins TDP

The ruling YSR Congress on Friday suspended four of its MLAs for cross voting in the just-concluded MLC elections from the Assembly. The party took action against the four MLAs who had voted for the TDP in the MLC election.

Party general secretary and government advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy told the media persons in Tadepalli that the party had conducted internal enquiry on the cross voting by the MLAs. The party found that the four MLAs, Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, Mekapati Chandrasekhar Reddy and Undavalli Sridevi, were found guilty of cross voting, he said.

He alleged that these four MLAs were sold out to the opposition TDP during the MLC election. He said that TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu is known for purchasing MLAs and had done the same in the MLC election.

While Sridevi from Tadikonda in Guntur district had denied to have voted for the TDP, Chandrasekhar Reddy was unavailable for the party after the voting was over. Sridhar Reddy defied the party a couple of months ago and had declared that he would go by his conscience in the MLC elections. Ramanarayana Reddy did not make any statement on his preference to vote for the TDP against the party’s decision.

Meanwhile, Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy’s brother Giridhar Reddy joined the TDP in the presence of Chandrababu Naidu at the party headquarters in Mangalagiri, soon after the announcement came from the YSR Congress office on his suspension from the party.

Backed by hundreds of supporters, Giridhar Reddy joined the party and said that they would work for the party’s victory in the coming election.

Naidu blames officials on irregularities in MLC polls

TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday blamed the officials for allowing the ruling YSR Congress to indulge in several irregularities in the MLC elections. He held a meeting with the party senior leaders at the party headquarters in Mangalagiri.

The party leaders told Chandrababu Naidu that the ruling party leaders have attacked the TDP leaders in various places in the state during the polling. They alleged that the police and the officials have allowed the ruling party leaders to capture the polling booths and attack the TDP leaders.

Chandrababu Naidu criticised the officials and the police for allowing the ruling party leaders to enter into the polling booths. He also condemned the arrest of the TDP leaders in the state during the election.

The TDP chief demanded that the Election Commission set its eyes on the irregularities reported in the state during the polling. He said that the TDP had sent the evidence to the Election Commission and felt that the EC should take action against the ruling party leaders.

Chandrababu Naidu alleged that several illiterate people were made voters of the graduates constituency with the connivance of the ruling party. It was nothing but degrading the election process and an insult to the Election Commission, he said.

The TDP president alleged that former minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy violated the election code in Prakasam district. He wanted the Election Commission to take stern action against the former minister. He also wanted the officials to take action against the ruling party leaders in Tirupati who attacked the TDP leaders for questioning them on the bogus votes.

TDP, YCP clash as polling ends for nine MLC seats in AP

Barring stray incidents of fisticuffs, polling for the nine MLC seats in Andhra Pradesh was held peacefully and successfully on Monday. TDP and the YSR Congress activists clashed with each other at Ongole, while it went on well in the rest of the districts.

Polling for the four MLC seats from the local bodies constituencies of Srikakulam, West Godavari and Kurnool is going to be one sided as the ruling YSR Congress has absolute majority in the local bodies. The election here was forced with the presence of independent candidates who refused to withdraw their nominations. Five other MLC seats from the local bodies were unanimous as there were no other nominations filed.

Election was held for the local bodies MLC seats of one each in Srikakulam and Kurnool and two seats in West Godavari district. The ruling YSR Congress is sure of its victory here.

The polling for the three graduate constituencies and two teachers constituencies spread over the Rayalaseeema and north Andhra regions too was peaceful barring complaints of fake voters. The opposition TDP lodged complaints with the Chief Electoral Officer about the fake votes. However, the EC said that the issues raised by the TDP were addressed.

Polling was held for Visakhapatnam-Vizianagaram-Srikakulam Graduates constituency where BJP sitting MLC P V N Madhav is seeking re-election. The YSR Congress and the TDP have fielded their candidates here.

The two other Graduates constituencies of Prakasam-Nellore-Chittoor and Kurnool-Anantapur-Kadapa too were held peacefully. The two teachers constituencies in these six districts too have seen peaceful polling on the day.

The officials have shifted the ballot boxes to the eight strong rooms as the counting is to be held on March 16. The officials have provided pool proof security for both the polling and at the strong rooms.

While the counting of votes for the local bodies is likely to be over on the same day on March 16, the counting of votes for the teachers and the graduates MLC seats is likely to take at least two days as the officials would have to count the first and second priority votes.
