Andhra Pradesh: Ruling party continues to cry over EVMs, YSRC silent
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The post-poll scenario in Andhra Pradesh is rather peculiar. Rajasekhar Reddy was chief minister of combined AP, and Mr Naidu was in the Opposition, his party and other opposition parties had complained about the then DGP, S.S.P. In the present case, the state government had transferred DG Venkateswara Rao on the directions of the ECI, but within hours of doing so, the state government issued two orders — one saying that the DG Intelligence would not come under the ECI’s purview since he has no election related duty, and the other order, following from the first, cancelled the transfer of Mr Venkateswar Rao and appointed him as DG Intelligence. CS cannot meet DGP, but CM can go to CEO Another interesting thing is that Mr Naidu found fault with the new Chief Secretary L.V. Mr Naidu himself took the unprecedented step of going to the state’s Chief Electoral Office to make a complaint about income-tax raids on TD leaders and transfer of officers in the state.
