Leaders of TDP and its alliance partners complained to the Governor Abdul Nazir at Raj Bhavan about the incidents of post-poll violence in Palnadu and Rayalaseema. The leaders disclosed that they have brought to the notice of the Governor that the police have acted inefficiently in preventing violent incidents.
They said that the Governor was shocked to see the incidents of violence when they handed over all the video evidence on the pen drive to the governor. The leaders said that it was a shame for the government that ECI issued summons to the Chief Secretary and DGP over the violence.
They expressed anger that the ruling party resorted to instigating this kind of violence predicting their defeat is certain. Telugu Desam leaders Varla Ramaiah, Devineni Umamaheswara Rao, Kollu Ravindra, BJP leader Lanka Dinakar and Jana Sena leader Chillapalli Srinivas met Governor Abdul Nazir.
TDP leader Varla Ramaiah alleged that Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy, after realizing his defeat, attempted to create anarchy at the polling stations on the polling day. He said that they explained to the governor on the violent incident that took place after the polling, along with the evidence.
He said they presented videos showing how police colluded with the YCP leaders. As the Election Commission also realized the indiscriminate violence in the state, he said both the Chief Secretary and DGP were summoned to Delhi.
Meanwhile, the ECI is said to be furious against four SPs in the state, where post-poll violence incidents were reported. It has already indicated that it will take action against them. They are Tirupati, Anantapur, Nandyal and Palnadu SPs. Already, ECI authorities from Delhi have reportedly given some indications to DGP in this regard.
