It is known news that Andhra Octopus Lagadapati’s predictions gone miserably wrong this time. The final results are nowhere near to the numbers predicted by Lagadapati. Now, TRS leader complained to election commission on Lagadapati for misleading voters with mal-intent.
Lagadapati earlier predicted Praja kootami led by Congress will win 65 seats (+ or – 10), TRS 35 seats (+ or – 10), TDP 7 (+ or – 2) , independents around 8-10 seats. However TRS won 88 seats out of 119 seats. Lagadapati didn’t give any clarification after the results yet, though he told in Tirumala that he shouldn’t have talked politics in Tirumala. But his announcement about predictions just before the elections is landing him into trouble.
Now a smalltime leader in TRS, Venkataramana Reddy complained to Election Commission on Lagadapati for misleading voters with malintent. He wrote in his complaint that Lagadapati revealing the predictions before elections is against the rules of election commission and urged EC to take legal actions on Lagadapati.
We will have to wait and see how EC responds on this complaint.
