TDP-led alliance demands SIT probe into election violence

A delegation of the TDP-led ruling alliance met State Election Commissioner Anil Chandra Punetha in Vijayawada to demand a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into recent violence. The coalition alleges YSRCP activists are orchestrating a criminal conspiracy to disrupt local body elections through attacks on police and the mobilization of anti-social elements from neighboring states.

Alliance leaders rejected Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s claims of candidate suppression, citing internal party contradictions and widespread legal petitions as evidence of obstruction. They accused the YSRCP of using professional gangsters and rowdy elements to create public panic and undermine the electoral process.
