YSR Congress Party President Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy tops the list of violators of electoral guidelines. He has so far received 39 notices from the Election Commission, the highest among the candidates in the fray for by-elections in Kadapa district.
A majority of these notices pertain to publication of “paid news”, mostly in “Sakshi” owned by the former Kadapa MP. The other notices are with regard to violations of the election code.
In addition, three more notices were issued to him because some independent candidates in Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency were found to be campaigning for him, State Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Bhanwarlal said.
Jagan has replied only to seven notices from the Election Commission. His reply was waited in the case of 33 other notices, the CEO said.
Jagan’s mother Vijayamma, seeking re-election from Pulivendula, was issued 7 notices followed by TDP’s Mysoora Reddy 4, D L Ravindra Reddy 3 and Y S Vivekananda Reddy 2, the election officer said.
In the run-up to the high-stake by-elections, the authorities have so far recovered Rs 2.22 crore in cash from several vehicles. The cash was apparently meant for distribution among voters. Over 10,000 bind-over cases have been registered in the faction-ridden district.
