YSRCP Alleges Andhra Pradesh Election Commission Ignores Poll Irregularity Complaints

Analysed 30 Oct 2026·2 sources analysed·Andhra Pradesh, India·Politics

YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders have accused the Andhra Pradesh State Election Commission (SEC) of ignoring complaints of electoral irregularities and acting in favor of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). They allege police and revenue officials are biased, citing issues such as torn nomination papers, non-distribution of voter slips, and inadequate security with fewer police personnel and missing CCTV coverage at polling booths. YSRCP has submitted evidence and warned of approaching the Supreme Court if concerns are not addressed.
