MAA Elections are completed successfully and Manchu Vishnu has become the president of the association with a good majority. However, his opponent Prakash Raj still had doubts about the way the elections were held. Election officer Krishna Mohan burst the allegations and gave clarity that no one took the postal ballots to their homes. In this regard, Prakash Raj penned a letter to the election officer, seeking CCTV footage from him. The following is the letter that Prakash Raj sent to Krishna Mohan.
“You were witnesses to many unfortunate events that happened in just concluded MAA elections. The tempers were high and we saw unruly, anti-social behavior of DRC member Sri Mohan Babu and ex-President Sri Naresh. They abused, threatened, and physically attacked members of MAA. I assume you used your discretionary powers to allow them and their henchmen in the polling arena. Some of the visuals were leaked to the media and it had a field day.
MAA elections and later incidents made us laughing stock in the eyes of the public. There is disgust behavior of some known faces. Even MAA members wanted to know the truth about these reports. During your briefings – you talked about CC cameras usage during the polling. I am sure they recorded everything. So I request you to give us CCTV footage. It is our democratic right to get all the relevant information related to polls.
As a polling officer, it is your duty to preserve all the records at least for three months. Numerous Supreme Court judgments also mandated the polling officers to preserve the records. So I request you to give us CC footage earliest possible. Unless you act immediately – I fear the footage will be deleted or tampered. Pls acknowledge the letter."
