Counting for teacher and graduate MLC elections is going on in Andhra Pradesh. As the lead is changing from moment to moment, the candidates as well as the party leaders are getting tense. In this order, YCP candidate Ravindra Reddy complained to the Election Commission about the counting of MLC election votes of graduates of Kadapa – Anantapur – Kurnool districts (West Rayalaseema). A written complaint was lodged with the EC to stop the counting process immediately. Ravindra Reddy stated in his complaint that the officials are adding the votes he got to the TDP candidate.
And the leaders of Telugu Desam are also responding to YCP leaders. They alleged that the YCP leaders are putting pressure on the District Collector to stop the counting due to the fear of defeat. The TDP leaders say that the YCP is trying to monitor the counting by the joint collector instead of the collector. They are making accusations that do not go away with the decrease of the majority.
