"The Police and the District Administration officials are totally in connivance with ruling parties and facilitating their corrupt practices. On 27 October, during a police raid, Rs 18.65 lakh cash was found at the house of a relative of a BJP candidate. The sitting Minister T Harish Rao is openly campaigning for ruling TRS party and creating a fear psychosis among opponent parties and misusing power," he added.

He said out, "Given the unprecedented nature of the violation of law by these political parties, there is a need for your immediate intervention to restore democratic practices and conduct free and fair elections in Dubbaka Assembly Constituency."
