The Election Commission of India issued a show cause notice to the BJP’s candidate for the Munugode by-poll, Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy, to explain on the complaint filed by the ruling TRS party that Sushee Infra and Mining Limited company, operated by his family, had transferred Rs.5.24 crore into bank accounts of 23 persons in Munugode constituency. The ECI has asked Mr. Rajgopal Reddy to define his role and status, including all the aspects mentioned in the TRS representation, by 4 p.m. on Monday so that the Commission can make an appropriate decision. The TRS had claimed that this money was to be utilised as a voter incentive.
