Naidu urges SEC to publish candidate list in Thamballapalle
[ad_1]
Telugu Desam Party nationwide president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday wrote a letter to the State Election Commission (SEC), requesting it to publish the ultimate list of the candidates for panchayat polls in Thamballapalle mandal in Chittoor district.
Mr. Naidu, in his letter, stated that Thamballapalle Mandal MPDO Divakar Reddy was not publishing the ultimate list of the candidates intentionally in violation of the election code of conduct. “The MPDO is favouring the ruling YSRCP. Thamballapalle SI Sahadevi has been threatening the candidates backed by the political parties other than the YSRCP to withdraw their nomination papers,” alleged Mr. Naidu.
The former Chief Minister accused Thamballapalle MLA Peddireddi Dwarakanatha Reddy of manipulating the ultimate list by threatening the candidates.
“Mr. Dwarakanath Reddy, brother of Minister Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy, along with his relative Bhanu and personal assistant Hemanth Kumar, are involved in threatening the candidates with dire consequences if they do not withdraw their nominations,” alleged Naidu.
Given the circumstances, the TDP chief stated, it was needed to publish the ultimate list of candidates in order that they will go forward with campaigns. He sought motion towards the officers who will not be publishing the ultimate list of candidates intentionally.
