The Supreme Court has barring Ramakrishna Reddy from entering the vote-counting booth in his constituency; in fact, the YSRCP leader was told not to be in the vicinity.
The Supreme Court has reacted sharply to grant of interim protection for an Andhra Pradesh MLA who was caught on camera this month destroying an EVM at a polling station in Palnadu district.
In videos widely circulated online, the ruling YSR Congress' P Ramakrishna Reddy - backed by a few equally unruly supporters - was shown barging into a voting booth, grabbing the EVM (electronic voting machine) and VVPAT (voter verified paper trail) off the table, and throwing it to the ground.
That was on May 13. Within days, however, Mr Reddy had received protection in that and associated cases, with High Court Justice Venkata Jyothirmayi's interim orders directing police not to act against the lawmaker till 10 am on Wednesday, a day after the Lok Sabha election results are declared.
