Close on the heels of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders meeting the Election Commission of India (ECI) over the alleged inclusion of bogus voters in the electoral rolls in Andhra Pradesh, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) trained its guns on the ‘Bhavishyathu ku Guarantee’ programme of the TDP.
The YSRCP accused the TDP of collecting the personal data of voters through the door-to-door campaign. “The TDP is violating the regulations by collecting voters’ details. We will take up the issue with the ECI,” YSRCP State general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy told the media at Tadepalli on November 21 (Tuesday).
He said that the TDP leaders were issuing ‘Babu Surety- Bhavishyathu ku Guarantee’ letter signed by the party national president N Chandrababu Naidu with a promise that each voter would get ₹2.4 lakh in five years, and the benefits would be extended from June 2024.
