YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has alleged that the Election Commission of India (ECI) is not functioning impartially. The Commission is playing a spectator role even though anti social elements are indulged in attacks and political violence, he alleged.
Addressing a press conference at party office at Tadepalli, near here, on Wednesday, Mr. Reddy said that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) was attacking poor and downtrodden people with political vengeance. The TDP workers unleashed violence during the polling. The police on duty did not respond to bring the violence under control. The TDP wanted that the polling should not be conducted in a peaceful manner. The TDP had a wicked plans to stall the positive vote for the YSRCP, he alleged. The incidents at Macherla, Tirupati, Tadipatri, and Palnadu were in that direction, he claimed.
