What's behind this
Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has accused N. Chandrababu Naidu and the ruling party of ‘election subversion’, saying the TDP’s victory in urban local body polls does not reflect the people’s verdict. He alleges the electoral process was manipulated from nominations to counting using police and administrative machinery and claims the State Election Commission failed to act as an independent authority. Jagan also says the TD‑led NDA has hijacked local body elections in Andhra Pradesh despite Supreme Court directives, noting no change in the coalition government’s functioning. Newly elected TDP corporators have urged the YSRCP to respect the mandate and deny rigging allegations.
