Kadapa: Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president Sake Sailajanath said on Wednesday that the Congress party will prove its strength in the local body elections if the poll process is done in a fair manner and no violence is indulged in by the ruling party.
“If the ruling YSRC engages goons in this election, we will resist such actions,” he said and urged the officials to hold the elections in an impartial manner.
Addressing the media at the district Congress office here, the Congress chief said that the ruling party had committed irregularities and intimidated the nominees of other political parties in the last polls. “The YSRC government is planning to make the elections unanimous by use of force,” he alleged.
Sailajanath said he would meet the state election commissioner soon to seek smooth conduct of the polls. “The BJP and the Janasena are not speaking out against attacks on Dalits. The BJP is trying to tie the country to corporate powers,” he said.
