Alert cadre kept ‘fake voters’ at bay, say TDP-BJP-JSP alliance candidates in Tirupati

Arani Srinivasulu and V. Varaprasada Rao, the TDP-BJP-JSP alliance candidates for Tirupati Assembly and Tirupati Lok Sabha constituencies respectively, insisted that the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) cadre allegedly attempted to plant fake voters on polling day (Monday), but the alert cadre of the alliance parties kept them at bay.

Addressing a post-poll media conference here on Tuesday, Mr. Srinivasulu recalled the instances of the cadre reporting suspicious elements with fake identity cards to the police. He also thanked the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) for cracking the whip on the perpetrators.

“The polling trend shows that the voters have acknowledged Pawan Kalyan’s ideology, Chandrababu Naidu’s vision for the State and Narendra Modi’s development agenda for the future,” said Mr. Srinivasulu.
