NDA candidate Bojjala Venkata Sudhir Reddy, representing the TDP, Janasena, and BJP, expressed his frustration over the authorities' failure to act despite the discovery of hidden goods by YCP leaders in warehouses at Ramakrishnapuram in Renigunta mandal, allegedly to sway voters. Speaking to the media at the Tirupati Collector's office, Reddy pointed out that YCP leaders had stored food and campaign materials in four godowns at Ramakrishnapuram. Former legislator Sugunamma and Parliament President Narasimhayadav had filed a complaint with Collector Dr. Lakshmisha, but were dissatisfied with the response. Reddy criticized the collector for seeming inexperienced and suggested that a more senior and experienced collector should be appointed to oversee Tirupati during the election period. He questioned the delayed action from authorities and the involvement of GST officials in election-related matters. Expressing concerns over the lack of proper action, Reddy stressed the need to seize materials and money used to influence voters and called for a thorough inspection of all warehouses. He also questioned the adequacy of having only one flying squad in the mandal during elections. Reddy announced plans to file a complaint with the Election Commission regarding the storage of illegal items and urged the public to be aware of the system's shortcomings. He further appealed for a change in the Returning Officer in Srikalahasti if needed. Overall, Reddy emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in the electoral process and called for swift action against those attempting to manipulate voters through illegal means.
