Voters being deleted from electoral rolls: TDP
Machilipatnam (AP): TDP workers on Wednesday staged a sit-in at the Krishna district collectorate and alleged that the opposition YSR Congress Party was deleting names of voters in the Andhra Pradesh's Machilipatnam assembly constituency.
They were led by Andhra Pradesh Law Minister Kollu Ravindra.
The TDP supporters and leaders, including Machilipatnam Municipal Chairman M Baba Prasad, also took out a motorcycle rally from Koneru to the collectorate.
YSR Congress Party leader and former MLA Perni Venkataramaiah and his team have submitted fake Form-7s as the fear of loosing in the general elections, Ravindra alleged.
Form-7 is an application for voter deletion.
The opposition party stands exposed and the matter must be probed, he said.
The TDP also submitted a memorandum to the Krishna District Revenue Officer.

DMK seeks separate seating in Lok Sabha after split with Congress alliance
New Delhi: Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking a separate seating arrangement for Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) following the end of the party’s alliance with the Indian National Congress.
In a letter dated May 7 addressed to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Kanimozhi said the changed political situation made it inappropriate for DMK MPs to continue sitting alongside Congress members in the House.
She requested the Speaker to make “suitable changes” in the seating arrangement of the DMK Parliamentary Party and allot separate seating for its MPs.
“In view of the changed political circumstances and as our alliance with the Indian National Congress has come to an end, it may not be appropriate for our Members to continue occupying the present seating arrangement alongside them in the House,” the letter stated.
Kanimozhi further said separate seating would help DMK members effectively discharge their responsibilities in the Lok Sabha.
