Why Sakshi and YSRCP Changed Their Opinion on EC?

While people in several parts of Andhra Pradesh are burning the midnight oil in the long queues before the Polling Booths, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy came before the media and gave a pat on the back of Election commission for excellent conduct of the elections. A couple of days ago, YSR Congress General Secretary, Vijaya Sai Reddy wrote a letter about the same.

But suddenly Sakshi started a new conspiracy theory. The YSR Congress Media House has been publishing stories alleging that Chandrababu Naidu is behind the malfunctioning of EVMs on the Polling Day. Sakshi alleged that all the Returning Officers were appointed by the EC on the recommendation of the State Government.

So, they allege that the Returning Officers are to be probed for helping TDP to deliberately bring down the Voting Percentage. Interestingly, it was TDP which tried to increase the Polling Percentage. We have seen Chandrababu Naidu releasing a Video on that day urging Voters to go back to the booths and Vote.
