YS Jagan to Approach Supreme Court Over Alleged Obstruction in Andhra Local Elections
YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy announced plans to approach the Supreme Court again with new evidence alleging obstruction of his party's candidates in Andhra Pradesh local body elections. He accused the ruling coalition government of ignoring court directives, citing intimidation, attacks, forged withdrawal letters, and nomination rejections against YSRCP nominees. Jagan released a book with photographic evidence and called for appointment of an amicus curiae, deployment of central forces, and election monitoring to ensure a fair process amid claims of election irregularities.
