‘Chandrababu Naidu violated poll code’

"It is against election code to declare a cash prize (monetary incentive) for those who win Sarpanch polls," said Karimnagar MP Ponnam Prabhakar.

He also said that he would lodge a complaint with the election commission over this.

He expressed confidence that Congress High Command will soon announce its decision on the Telangana issue. He accused Seemandhra leaders of obstructing the formation of Telangana state. He also said that all the Telangana leaders will meet the Congress High Command to explain the benefits derived from the division of state.

It is worth mentioning here that the State Election Commission issued notification for holding elections to the rural bodies and the model code of conduct for the polls came into force immediately throughout the State.
