The party claimed that Ministers had managed to arrange Rs.100 crore in the Karimnagar Parliamentary Constituency to distribute among the voters. Further, the Congress leaders were making efforts to poach the local body representatives of Karimnagar Parliamentary constituency by offering Rs.20 lakh to Rs.30 lakh, the party said.
The party stated that to conduct free and fair elections there was a need to deploy central paramilitary forces in the constituency.
