YSR Congress government’s advisor (public affairs) Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy on Tuesday questioned state election commissioner Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar as to why he didn’t bother to visit Nimmada, the native of TDP state president K Atchan Naidu or inquire into the incident wherein the latter threatened a candidate over filing nominations.
Sajjala pointed out that there had been no elections in Nimmada for nearly a decade, and nearly seven people who either filed nominations or raised questions had been brutally murdered in the past.
He questioned opposition leader Chandrababu Naidu who is batting for competition in polls and discouraging unanimous elections to answer why there was no election in Nimmada and why he didn’t encourage a similar competitive spirit there.
Sajjala sought to know why Nimmagadda was not visiting Nimmada or ordering an inquiry on the incident, while he visited a distressed family in East Godavari and even suspended local cops holding them responsible for the incident.
He said that SEC has been proving time and again that he is biased towards TDP. Even now, when a close relative of Atchannaidu has come forward to file a nomination he was threatened and attacked by TDP leaders.
He said that this was not an isolated incident, but depicted the ruthless politics of TDP.
