YSRCP Alleges Obstruction in Andhra Local Body Polls; TDP Denies Claims
YSRCP leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has accused the Andhra Pradesh TDP-led government of obstructing his party's candidates in local body elections through intimidation, attacks, and nomination manipulation. He alleges violations of Supreme Court directives, including forged withdrawal letters and police bias, and has released photographic evidence. Jagan demands appointment of an amicus curiae, deployment of central forces, and CCTV coverage to ensure fair elections. The TDP denies these claims, accusing YSRCP cadres of violence and disruption. The State Election Commission is under court orders to ensure election fairness.
