The polling is going to begin in the next 15 to 16 hours in AP. Election campaign should not be held now as per poll code. All the star campaigners fell silent since 6 pm on April 9. Jaganmohan Reddy, Pawan Kalyan, KA Paul and all other leaders are nowhere to be seen. But suddenly CM Chandrababu Naidu appeared at the office of AP Chief Electoral Officer Gopala Krishna Dwivedi at AP Secretariat in Amaravati capital city.

It was for the first time that a CM went to protest personally to CEO office where he also sat in dharna. Naturally, all the media attention was there on Naidu’s flash protest against alleged excesses by ECI. Naidu took maximum advantage out of this by telling the people through the media how Modi, Jagan and KCR are making blatant misuse of power. He levelled allegations against Modi saying that the PM is destroying Indian democracy.

Naidu asked CEO how the Kadapa SP could be transferred when he was in the midst of investigating the sensational political murder there. He said the public will react strongly against these excesses and this would not crush but boost the morale of TDP to continue its struggle. While Naidu reached out to AP voters in the crucial hours before polling, Jagan is nowhere to be seen.
