YSRCP sweep Panchayat elections in Phase 1: Sajjala

Vijayawada: Advisor to the Andhra Pradesh Government, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said the YSRCP-backed candidates bagged 82 per cent seats in the first phase of panchayat elections and the same streak will continue in the remaining phases.

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, he slammed TDP leaders for distorting the facts with a section of media to confuse the public and try to influence them. 'These gimmicks will not work as people understood the contrast and are tangible with welfare coming to the doorstep. At least now TDP should be working on people's issues, he said'.

Sajjala stated that the party withstood the biased nature of the State Election Commissioner, who indeed went overboard in the name of constitutional powers by harassing the officers with their service records, court cases, and acted more as a politician.
