The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) activists staged a demonstration in front of the Prakasam Bhavan here on June 30 (Friday), alleging that the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) was including bogus voters in the electoral rolls in its attempt to win the Assembly elections ‘by hook or crook‘.
The TDP activists also submitted a memorandum in this regard to Prakasam Collector and District Election Officer A.S. Dinesh Kumar.
Addressing the protestors, TDP Andhra Pradesh vice-president D. Janardhana Rao said that the fear of losing the 2024 elections had gripped the YSRCP. “Hence, the ruling party, in collusion with some officials, is deleting the names of TDP supporters from electoral rolls. “Internal surveys conducted by the YSRCP have revealed that the YSRCP might face a defeat by more than 15,000 votes,” he claimed.
