With just five days left for the closure of campaigning in the general elections, it is time for the flow of money among the voters in a big way.
While indulging in large scale distribution of cash in a big way, the political parties are also trying to check similar money distribution by their rivals.
The contestants adopt ingenious ways to distribute money among voters – through online transactions, direct disbursement of cash along with pamphlets and even bearing the expenditure of voters for purchase of provisions and other goods.
Money is entering Andhra Pradesh through hawala methods from abroad and also in trains and buses.
While the police generally check private vehicles at several points, they do not focus on transfer of money in trains and buses.
On Wednesday, the Hyderabad police caught two persons carrying Rs 2 crore cash in two bags, just before they boarded a train to Rajahmundry.
On interrogation, it was revealed that the two persons were diverting the cash from Jayabheri real estate venture in train to Rajahmundry.
The money is said to be meant for distribution among voters for seeking their votes Telugu Desam Party candidate Maganti Rupa, daughter in law of outgoing MP and senior actor Maganti Murali Mohan.
The Jayabheri Group belongs to Murali Mohan. Obviously, the police booked a case against him.
Similar reports of cash distribution are coming from various parts of Andhra Pradesh. Watch out for more news!
