Andhra Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer Mukesh Kumar Meena has ordered an inquiry into a claim made by Razole MLA Rapaka Vara Prasada Rao that he had committed certain election offences to win the 2019 elections.
The State Election Commission (SEC) swung into action, acting on a complaint lodged by a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) petitioner, Y. Venkatapathiraja, who is a native of the Konaseema region.
The petitioner submitted a video recording in which the MLA was seen talking about the offences he had made, at a public meeting recently. The CEO ordered an inquiry based on the complaint and video clipping.
