YSRC hands over surveyors to police

Visakhapatnam: The YSR Congress Vizag city unit handed over a team of youth to Kancharapalem police on Wednesday for allegedly conducting a survey at the behest of the ruling TDP government. Speaking on this occasion, YSRCP Vizag city president Malla Vijay Prasad alleged that the survey was aimed at removing the anti-TDP voters from the list.

“The locals in Siddhartha Nagar and Bhavani Gardens caught the youth in their area on Wednesday morning. As per these youth, a total of 60 persons have been deployed across the state to conduct the survey. Carrying a certain pro forma, the survey team has been reaching out to local people's representatives, government teachers, community leaders, and leaders of various political parties. The primary objective of the survey is to delete the voters from the lists who responds against the ruling TDP during the survey,” Vijay Prasad said.

Vijay Prasad further said that the questions of the survey ranged from ‘whom you are going to vote for in the next elections?’ to ‘Do you believe the promises made by YSRCP president YS Jaganmohan Reddy’. “The TDP is worried about their election prospects after the success of Jaganmohan Reddy‘s padayatra. We also have come to know that the surveyors have been propagating the welfare schemes launched by the government to garner more votes,” Vijay Prasad further added.

However, during the investigation, it was revealed that the survey team is from Bangalore and has been conducting a pre-poll survey.
