Naidu’s 14‑page booklet, released on Saturday, accused the YSRCP of orchestrating violence across several districts and spreading misinformation to tarnish the state’s reputation—an accusation that the TDP chief says is backed by video evidence.
The Supreme Court’s directive on Oct. 23 and 24 reopened nominations in Kadapa, Tirupati, Rajampet and Mydukur, four urban local bodies that had previously faced filing disputes. These revisions set the stage for 100 local body polls on Nov. 1, with counting slated for Nov. 3.
While Naidu highlighted that his government has secured Rs 22 lakh crore in investments and focused on welfare projects, he warned that political instability and alleged intimidation are hampering Andhra Pradesh’s image among investors.
The next phase of voting will see municipal elections on Nov. 1, MPTC and ZPTC polls on Nov. 3, and gram panchayat elections in three waves on Nov. 26, 29 and Dec. 2, marking a critical juncture for the state’s democratic process.
