YS Jagan Urges DGP To Ensure Peaceful Polls in Kanaganapalli

Vijayawada: YSR Congress president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday submitted a letter to Andhra Pradesh DGP Sambasiva Rao requesting him to ensure a level playing field in the ensuing MPP elections of Kanaganapalli in Anantapur district.

Expressing apprehensions that the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) might resort to rigging and atrocities during the poll process, the YSRCP chief asked the DGP to ensure peaceful conduct of the polls. The letter from the YSRCP president was handed over to IG (law & order) Gupta in the DGP office by YSRCP spokesman P Gautam Reddy.

The YSRCP said that the Telugu Desam Party leader from Anantapur Paritala Sunita and her followers might try to scuttle the peaceful conduct of elections in Kanaganapalli.

Meanwhile, senior YSRCP leaders met the state election commissioner regarding the MPP elections. They handed a copy of the letter from YS Jagan and urged the commissioner to ensure impartial elections in Kanaganapalli. They stated that Anantapur TDP leader Paritala Sunita has fielded a candidate for the Kanaganapalli poll though the TDP does not have public support in the region. The move by Paritala Sunita was aimed at creating trouble during the poll, the YSRCP leaders said.
