In a shocking revelation about cash distribution for votes in the upcoming Telangana elections, Akunuri Murali, director of State Archives Department who was district collector of Jayashankar Bhupalapally, said that his relatives with a family of three voters were given Rs. 15,000 by a political party.
As elections in Telangana near, many cases of cash stash being seized are coming to light everyday. Currently, the money spent on one vote in Telangana is Rs 10,000, he said, adding that the amount being spent by a political party for every voter has increased manifoldly.
On the other hand, Murali expressed his discontent at the way money is being distributed in Telangana. Stating that he had lot of expectations on the Telangana government after the creation of a separate Telangana state, he added that the TRS government’s talk of development is all bogus and it has disappointed people.
In 2014 elections, United Andhra Pradesh witnessed Rs. 154 crore distributed to voters. However, the amount of unaccounted cash distributed in 2014 is still not known. This shows that bribing voters for elections has become the new normal during every election season. Political observers say that this time it could be much higher as the amount spent on single vote has increased drastically.
