Telugu Desam Party chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu has penned a letter to the Election Commission. In his letter, Chandrababu complained that members of the ruling party from adjoining assembly constituencies and districts of Tirupati are influencing the Tirupati Parliamentary elections. He alleged that there was no proper surveillance at the check posts in the border areas of the Tirupati and hence many YCP activists were infiltrating into Tirupati through buses and lorries.
Chandrababu suggested that the distribution of money and liquor by YCP leaders through volunteers should be stopped and additional forces should be deployed at troublesome polling booths. He said strict measures should be taken to prevent atrocities like exercising fake votes. He said steps should be taken to rectify the coordination error and ensure free elections.
