Congress MP N. Uttam Kumar Reddy on Wednesday alleged that Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) had got habituated to undermining democratic norms by influencing voters with money or by purchasing elected representatives to dishonour people's verdict.
“People of Munugode had voted for Congress in 2018 Assembly elections. Now local MLA Rajagopal Reddy switched to the BJP. Both TRS and BJP leaders know that people will repeat the 2018 result and vote for Congress candidate Palvai Sravanti. Instead of allowing people to exercise their free will, they are trying to influence them using money and liquor,” he said.
He was speaking to media persons after unveiling a statue of Congress leader Chinna Mallaiah in Huzurnagar.
