TDP politburo member and Vijayawada central Assembly constituency candidate, Bonda Umamaheswara Rao, alleged that chief electoral officer, Mukesh Kumar Meena, was acting in favour of the ruling YSR Congress. He said he would complain to the central election commission against Meena for his biased actions.
Speaking to media persons in Vijayawada on Monday, Bonda Uma alleged that all actions of the chief electoral officer were in favour of the ruling YSR Congress. He alleged that Meena was not acting on the complaints given by the TDP and other opposition parties.
He alleged that Vijayawada North ACP Prasad and Nunna Circle Inspector Durga Prasad were also acting in favour of the ruling party. They were not taking the complaints of the opposition or acting against the ruling party.
He said that the ruling party leaders have attacked an ST surveyor who did not cast his ballot vote in favour of the ruling party. The police filed cases against the YSR Congress leaders, he said and regretted that the police have also filed cases against the ST surveyor. The police were not arresting the YSR Congress leaders for attacking the surveyor, he said.
