Members of CPI(M), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) alleged that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders are involved in distribution of money to lure graduates, a day before North Andhra Graduate MLC election in Visakhapatnam.
In one incident, CPI(M) activists have caught a person at H.B Colony, who was allegedly distributing money to several voters in the locality, on Sunday. CPI(M) leader B. Ganga Rao alleged that the YSRCP MLC candidate S. Sudhakar Raju was behind the distribution of cash. He suspected the same in several other areas also. Cash bundles, with ₹500 denomination notes, were seized from the accused, and he was handed over to the MVP police for further action. CPI(M) leader Subbarao alleged that the YSRCP leaders were utilising the services of secretariat staff to distribute money to the voters in some areas, and they were caught red-handed on Saturday night.
Former MLA and BJP leader P. Vishnu Kumar Raju in a release on Sunday said that some days ago, a huge number of silver biscuits, which were allegedly meant for distribution by the YSRCP leaders to voters were found in an apartment on the Beach Road. On Sunday, again a few incidents of money distribution by the YSRCP were reported.
