The Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) has accused Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and his son Nara Lokesh of rigging the recent Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency (ZPTC) elections. Former minister Perni Nani claimed that non-local workers were allowed to vote in the presence of district collector Cherukuri Sridhar, compromising the integrity of the democratic process.
