As the Tirupati by-polls are heading, the TDP is demanding the use of central forces for security in the by-elections. TDP has decided to take this issue to the attention of the Central Election Commission (CEC) due to the stone pelting incident in the recent election campaign. Three TDP MPs who have been busy in the Tirupati campaign are going to Delhi to talk to the CEC, especially on this incident.
Previously, former SEC Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar has written a letter to the Union Home Ministry alleging irregularities in the local body elections. That letter is now likely to serve as a major weapon for the TDP.
They are likely to bring to the attention of the CEC the ruling party atrocities, which it has committed in the local body elections. There is a possibility of TDP strongly demanding that elections be held under the supervision of the Central Security Forces.
