YSRCP conspired to win elections through manipulation of electoral rolls, says Purandeswari

BJP State president Daggubati Purandeswari alleged that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) conspired to win the general elections through manipulation of electoral rolls. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s ‘Why Not 175’ (why not win all 175 Assembly constituencies) slogan was based on that conspiracy, she observed. 

Addressing the party’s Gaon Chalo Abhiyan workshop here on January 24, Ms. Purandeswari said the YSRCP was trying to win elections by all possible means, which mainly include the deployment of bogus voters. 

The BJP will thwart the YSRCP’s bid by taking the electoral malpractices to the notice of the Election Commission of India. In Tirupati by-poll alone, about 35,000 fake votes were identified.
