Gutha alleged that in Warangal byelection,  the democratic process was completed subverted by the ruling party and election was a mockery of free and  fair election.

” The TRS has won the by-elections by misusing official machinery during campaign. It offered sops and  announced welfare programs violating the poll code. The ruling party leaders resorted the rampant money distribution. Liquor was supplied to  lure the voters into voting for TRS. What did the ministers posted as in charges of elections in each Assembly segments do? They resorted to all anti-democratic methods to undermine the free and fair election,” the MP said.
