YSRCP has charged the coalition government with gross misuse of power and resorting to vehement undemocratic measures to wrest the local body by-poll in Pulivendula and reiterated despite all such nefarious measures the image of YS Jaganmohan Reddy will not be affected.
Speaking to media here on Saturday, Party spokesperson Rachamallu Siva Prasada Reddy said, the election being fought not with TDP but with official machinery and the ruling coalition is hell bent on damaging the image and fame of YS family. He appealed to the people and cadre to work with a strong resolve braving all hardships to retain the seat.
He deplored that the election is being fought in the most undemocratic manner with the official machinery siding totally with the ruling party while TDP has been resorting to violence, bloodshed, misuse of police, jumbling of polling booths causing inconvenience to voters who are committed to YSRCP, extravaganza of money, foisting false cases on political adversaries, besides heavy poaching.
Adding to this, he accused that they have been threatening and booking cases against active YSRCP workers and sympathizers, not taking complaints filed by the opposition and at times booking cases against the victims and police playing a proactive role making it YSRCP versus police election.
Siva Prasad Reddy lamented that the sequence of events for the past one week shows that the election campaign is not being held in the normal and traditional form but it is being held in an unconventional and undemocratic manner. He alleged that the sole intention of TDP is not to win the by-poll but to bring a blot on the image of YS family which has been invincible in this region.
If people vote, YSRCP will win, if official machinery takes over the other party will win, he said and appealed to the people and cadre to stay strong and defeat the unruly elements which have been playing havoc by breaking heads, cars and letting loose the violence.
He wondered if they are even propagating that we will attack the media which is in our favour and shift the blame on ruling dispensation which is the most audacious allegation and the most self-degrading statement. He warned that YS Jaganmohan Reddy will be a changed man after winning the 2029 polls and all erring persons would have to pay a heavy price.
