Hyderabad, Dec 14: YSR Congress said that the TDP government has misused official machinery in the Kanagnapalli MPP election using force and coercion even though the Party has no numbers to win the post and slammed State Minister Devineni Umamaheswara Rao for his remarks against YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

‘While Chandrababu Naidu has been named in the cash for vote scam his party men, including ministers, are following him and there is large scale manipulation and misuse of official machinery in the Kanaganapali MPP election,’ party spokesperson  Vasireddy Padma told reporters here on Wednesday.

Though TDP has no numbers to win the post, the ruling party MLAs and Ministers have camped and have been resorting to terror and manipulative tactics to win the seat. This shows the weakness of the party as they are resorting to rigging and unfair practices.

The numbers are clearly in favour of YSR Congress and for the past few days the ruling party members have unleashed terror and appeasement tactics to manipulate the numbers, she said.

Taking strong objection to the tone and body language of Irrigation Minister Devineni Umamaheswara Rao, she said, ‘he has to answer the pointed questions raised by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and not the incoherent talk. Polavaram has been the dream project of YSR and what we asked was why was the estimate escalated and why the displaced persons were not given enough compensation.

Devineni Uma speaking in a tone and tenor that is unbecoming of a minister and shows the levels of his frustration but he has to guard his tongue before uttering such uncharitable remarks, she said.
