The incident, supposedly happening on May 13, was caught on a web camera. The CCTV footage shows MLA P Ramakrishna Reddy purposefully vandalizing EVMs at polling station No. 202 and seven other stations in the Macharla Assembly Constituency. The Election Commission quickly responded, handing over the video to state police for further investigation.
Election Commission Steps In
“The Election Commission is serious about these allegations,” expressed the Chief Electoral Officer of Andhra Pradesh. The poll body has directed CEO Mukesh Kumar Meena to coordinate with the DGP to guarantee strict action against those included. Therefore MLA Reddy is officially named as charged in this ongoing investigation.
Political Tensions Rise
The drama didn’t end there. Telugu Desam Party’s National General Secretary, Nara Lokesh, took to social media to slam the MLA and his party. Lokesh blamed Reddy for destroying the EVM machine out of fear of losing the elections. He posted a video of the incident on X, making bold claims about the YSR Congress Party’s desperate strategies. “YS Jagan Mohan Reddy not only betrayed his uncle but also the voters and democracy itself,” Lokesh stated. Also, he called for strict action against Reddy, foreseeing that people will deliver harsh action against the YCP’s factional politics on June 4.
Violence Mars Election Day
May 13 was a turbulent day in Andhra Pradesh, as the state cast a vote in a single phase to elect MPs and MLAs. The elections were hindered by widespread violence, adding to the tense political scenario. This most recent outrage including MLA Reddy has just strengthened the mayhem.
As the investigation unfurls, everyone is focused on the Election Commission and state police. The people of Andhra Pradesh are anxious to see a fair decision and are expecting a fair resolution. Thus a lot is on the line, and the political drama keeps on captivating the country. Therefore remain tuned for additional updates on this unfurling political adventure!
