Reniguna, Jan 29, 2013: YSR Congress party leader Roja has said that it is high time that farmers repay their debt to Dr. YSR by electing YSRCP-supported candidates in the single window cooperative society elections.

Speaking to reporters at Renigunta police station in Chittor district after being arrested on Monday for questioning the illegalities in the Kayampet single window elections, Roja said that police have sold out themselves to the DCC president A.Rajasekhara Reddy and Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and are behaving rude towards those who have been questioning the irregularities.

Elections to the single window cooperative societies are taking place on Feb 4 in the district and nominations were closed on Monday. Several illegalities took place in the enrollment of members for the elections. Roja, along with another YSRCP leader Peddireddy Mithun Reddy argued with the officials over the irregularities.

Police arrested both of them for questioning the officials and demanding action against those responsible for the irregularities. They were later released by the police.
