Ugly Tactics Take Over AP Poll Campaign

By now, everyone knows that Andhra Pradesh politics are entirely revolving around the recent order by the Election Commission restricting the usage of volunteers for pension distribution. But this led to a tactical strategy that is being used by the ruling party forces to spread propaganda that Telugu Desam and Chandrababu Naidu are the reason why volunteers are barred from pension distribution.

Political analysts are remarking that a section of the YSR Congress leaders and activists are working with the agenda to show that TDP wants handicapped and aged pensioners to suffer and are showing EC’s order as an anti-social idea of TDP.

By order, the EC wasn’t as rigid with its restriction on the use of volunteers. The EC instructed the government to distribute the pensions at the doorsteps of handicapped, widowed, and extremely elderly individuals. The intention of EC is to restrict the operation of volunteers as government representatives and carry out the pension distribution in a fair manner.

But a section of the ruling party activists are looking to make it seem like TDP is fully behind EC’s order against volunteers. They are ignoring the fact the EC is an independent body that operates to deliver a fair election process and TDP can have no say in this process.

What’s more shocking is that the ruling party’s allegiance groups on social media are sharing pics and videos of the elderly and handicapped struggling outside secretariats to get their pensions. All this to show TDP as a villain for somehow influencing the EC’s decision against the usage of volunteers.
