The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has decided to skip the elections to Punganur municipality, which is considered a stronghold of sitting MLA Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy. The party alleged lack of transparency in the election process and security threats to its candidates.

Announcing the YSRCP leadership's decision at a meeting of party supporters at his residence in Tirupati on Sunday, Mr. Ramachandra Reddy said the YSRCP candidates can not file nomination papers without ‘a free and fair atmosphere’. He alleged violence by the rival party workers and poor security cover for the YSRCP candidates.
