The YSR Congress Party complained to the Election Commission of India about TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu, RTV, and Eenadu newspapers possibly breaking election rules during the Lok Sabha and Andhra Pradesh Assembly polls. The complaint was filed by YSRCP leaders, including MLA Malladi Vishnu, Legal Cell President Manohar Reddy, and Grievance Cell President Narayana Murthy.
The complaint against Chandrababu Naidu accused him of using inappropriate language against Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy at campaign meetings. The YSRCP leaders claimed they had filed 230 complaints against Naidu with the ECI, but no action had been taken, leading to concerns about bias due to his alliance with the BJP.
They also demanded action against RTV channel, news anchor Ravi Prakash, and poll strategist Prashant Kishor for airing an interview that violated election rules. The interview by Prashant Kishor was broadcast on RTV despite an ECI ban on election-related content.
In addition, the YSRCP accused Eenadu of publishing false and defamatory statements against Jagan Mohan Reddy in an editorial. The article alleged mismanagement and corruption under the YSRCP’s rule.
The YSRCP leaders expressed confidence in the voters’ ability to make a fair decision during polling on May 13.
