District in-charge Minister Savita said that democracy won in the Pulivendula and Ontimitta ZPTC by-elections and TDP candidates won a huge majority. She alleged that in Pulivendula, the YS family had been winning local elections for 40 years by intimidation and concealment. She appreciated that in Pulivendula, B.Tech Ravi bravely fielded his wife in the elections and with the support of the alliance, she won with a huge majority.
She said that when people were told to go door to door and vote boldly, they came boldly and voted democratically for the first time. She said that people laughed when Avinash Reddy went door to door asking Save Democracy to vote. She criticized both Jaganmohan Reddy and Avinash Reddy knowing well that TDP would win and for the past 4 days, have been creating drama and trying to cancel the elections.
Savita warned that Jaganmohan Reddy should know that the people are boycotting the YSRCP itself. Jaganmohan Reddy, who won in Pulivendula, alleged that he has never been a sinner who cared about Pulivendula. She said that in the past, B.Tech Ravi won, and now he has made his wife win.
Jammalamadugu BJP MLA Adinarayana Reddy said that real democracy came from cruel democracy in Pulivendula. He said that the victory of Pulivendula is the result of the alliance’s struggle against the anarchic rule of YSRCP and the exploitation of funds, and the victory of Pulivendula is due to the development of Chandrababu and Modi.
He said that now it was exposed that the former minister YS Vivekananda Reddy was closed, with both Avinash Reddy and Bharati closely monitoring and silencing the police. He said that the YS family, who lost in the local elections, should be ashamed.
Former MLC B.Tech Ravi said that this is a people’s victory and everyone in the district cooperated. He deplored that even today, people are not able to vote freely in Pulivendula.
