TDP senior leader and former Rajya Sabha member Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar on Monday alleged that there was violences at 120 places across the state of Andhra Pradesh. He gave a complaint to the Election Commission seeking repolling in those places.
Kanakamedala alleged that the police have failed to protect law and order in the state during polling. The police acted in favour of the ruling party, he alleged. He further said that the police did not take action against the ruling party leaders despite the TDP giving complaints.
He demanded that action be taken against the YSR Congress candidates from Tenali, Tadipatri and Narasaraopet Assembly constituencies. He alleged that the MLA candidates of the ruling parties have attacked the voters and the TDP activists at the polling stations.
Kanakamedala also alleged that the ruling party leaders have destroyed the EVMs at several places. They did not allow the TDP and Jana Sena activists to enter the polling stations as polling agents, he alleged. He said that at several polling stations, voting was carried out without the presence of the TDP and Jana Sena polling agents.
The TDP former MP said that he had submitted the letter written by party president N Chandrababu Naidu to the election commission. He also gave another letter to the election commission on the electoral irregularities. He said that he wanted repolling in several places and wanted the election commission to take appropriate action.
Kanakamedala said that the police and polling officials have colluded with the ruling party at several places. The officials and the police have helped the ruling party against the rules, he alleged.
