De-recognise YSR Congress, Telugu Desam MPs urge EC
The Hindu
They claim the ruling party in A.P. had violated the Act by encouraging ‘state-sponsored terror’
A delegation of Telugu Desam Party MPs has submitted a memorandum to the Election Commission urging it to de-recognise the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) alleging that the party had violated the Representation of the People Act by encouraging “state-sponsored terror.”
Meanwhile, the YSRCP will be meeting President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday to complain to him about the “false propaganda” by the Opposition TDP which, the ruling party claims, is hurting the image of Andhra Pradesh.
The latest allegation comes against the backdrop of a war of words between the two opponents. Last week, YSRCP leader Vijaysai Reddy had called the TDP a ‘terrorist organisation’.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
