Even as the TDP has won the majority of wards (18) in Tadipatri Municipality, leaving 16 wards to the YSRCP’s kitty, hectic political activities are on in both the camps to win the chairperson post.
The TDP is trying hard to keep its newly-elected council members together, while the YSRCP is leaving no stone unturned to seize the chairperson’s post through the votes of the ex-officio members.
‘Ruling party trying to force unanimous polls’
With all set for the third phase of panchayat elections on Wednesday, complaints pertaining to sarpanch candidates supported by the rival parties of the YSRCP being coerced by the ruling party functionaries are pouring in the home district of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
“The YSRCP leaders continue to threaten or offer sops to the candidates backed by the opposition parties to not contest the polls,” TDP’s Pulivendula constituency in-charge M. Ravindranath Reddy alleged in a media conference here on Tuesday.
Mr. Ravindranath Reddy, on Monday, met Superintendent of Police K.K.N. Anburajan and sought police protection for the candidates backed by the TDP. He alleged that the YSRCP functionaries damaged sweet lime orchards of many candidates in Pulevendula constituency.
