“The EC has already conducted re-polling in five other polling stations in three districts on May 6, based on certain complaints. Meanwhile, the TDP leaders in Vijayawada alleged that the YSRC leaders had influenced the EC through newly-appointed chief secretary L V Subrahmanyam. “The opposition leaders submitted the complaint to the chief secretary, who in turn referred it to the EC seeking re-polling in certain polling stations. In what way, was the chief secretary concerned with re-polling?” TDP official spokesperson P Anuradha asked. Why are the TDP leaders worried over re-polling, if they have not indulged in any malpractices?
