TRS luring voters with cash: Uttam

A Congress delegation led by TPCC chief N. Uttam Kumar Reddy met Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Shashank Goel on Saturday urging him to take action against the ruling TRS for “violating the model code of conduct” in MLC elections. Speaking to reporters later along with former Minister Marri Shashidhar Reddy, and former MP Anjan Kumar Yadav, he alleged that the TRS leaders lured voters by distributing money and forcing private schools to provide their buses to transport voters. He said that the CEO was briefed about “TRS trying to engage fake voters apart from misusing the postal ballots” meant for police personnel on duty, to cast votes in favour of TRS candidates.
