Visakhapatnam
The Forum for Development of North Andhra (FDNA) and Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) have on Sunday complained to the Chief Electoral Officer that Andhra University Vice-Chancellor P.V.G.D. Prasad Reddy and Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Chairman Y.V. Subba Reddy violated the MLC Election Code by attending a meeting with correspondents of private degree colleges at a hotel here on Sunday.
CITU Visakhapatnam secretary S. Jyothiswara Rao said that YSRCP candidate for the MLC elections of North Andhra Graduate Constituency Seethamraju Sudhakar arranged the meeting, in which AU V-C and TTD Chairman participated.
He urged the Chief Electoral Officer to intervene and take action against the officials and reject Mr. Sudhakar’s nomination.
FDNA General Secretary A. Aja Sarma alleged that Mr. Prasad Reddy had arranged the meeting with the correspondents of the affiliated private degree college and invited YSRCP leaders, including the TTD Chairman. The meeting was held with the intention of influencing the college managements to vote in favour of the ruling party candidate.
“We requested the Chief Electoral Officer to get all the CCTV footage of the hotel immediately, otherwise, the ruling party may destroy all the evidence,” Mr. Sarma said.
The CITU and the SFI leaders and activists staged a protest at the hotel demanding action against the officials who indulged in the abuse of power.
