Kadapa local war: Naidu indulges in dirty tricks

Nothing can deter Chandrababu Naidu from playing dirty politics even in the worst of situations, if what he is allegedly doing to win Kadapa MLC seat is any indication. Naidu as all we know managed stay orders from different courts in as many as 18 cases including the most sensational , ‘note –for- vote’ case. If the election are held in fair manner it is just next to impossible to win kadapa local bodies MLC seat as the number are in favour of YCP. But Naidu wants to win the seat by hook or crook to demoralize YCP leaders and cadre by defeating party candidate in the negative district of YCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy. And in the process he is allegedly playing dirty tricks using local election duty officials’ services. Quality variation of candidate’s photos on ballot papers is one simple example to show how officials playing tools in the hands of Chief Minister. There is no clarity in the faces of all other candidates except TDP candidate Btech Ravi. And the officials floated all the norms in providing companion vote facility to illiterate candidates.

Besides the YCP candidate other candidates took it to the notice of the District Collector KV Satyanarayana who is also the District Election officer and demanded reprinting of ballot papers. He assures to take it to the notice of the State election Officer. Of the total of 841 eligible voters in the district 521 were elected on YCP ticket in 2012 local body elections. So it is a dam seat of YCP but Naidu entrusted the responsibility of Btech Ramesh victory to cash rich Rajya Sabha MP CM Ramesh and turncoat MLA Adinarayana Reddy with clear instructions to apply beg, borrow or steal policy.
