Minister for Women and Child Welfare K.V. Usha Sricharan on August 21 (Tuesday) accused Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu of resorting to deceptive politics over the fake voters’ issue and levelling false allegations against the YSRCP government.
Addressing the media, Ms. Usha Sricharan alleged that the names of fake voters were largely included in the electoral rolls during the TDP’s tenure. “The TDP, scared of defeat in the coming Assembly elections, is now crying hoarse over the fake voters’ issue,” said the Minister.
In a democratic set-up, the Minister said, they ( the TDP) were at liberty to lodge complaints with the Election Commission of India (ECI) or any other authority of their choice. “However, people of the State are well versed with the truth. Mr. Naidu always creates confusion among the people and hurls baseless allegations against the government for political gain,” she said.
“Let the authorities visit the State and verify the records. The truth will emerge and the TDP is bound to get exposed,” said the Minister.
Ms. Srichanran said no matter how hard the TDP leaders undertake tours or padayatras, the YSRCP would bounce back to power with an absolute majority. She expressed confidence that the YSRCP would win all the 175 Assembly seats in the State.
