Munugodu by-election: EC notice to Rajagopal Reddy over money transfer
Hyderabad, October 31: The Election Commission on Sunday issued notice to K Rajagopal Reddy, BJP candidate for Munugodu by-election in Telangana, over allegations that his family owned company transferred Rs 5.24 crore to 23 individuals/companies for voter inducement.
It has directed him to respond to the notice by 4 p.m. on Monday.
The poll panel issued the notice following a complaint by Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) General Secretary Soma Bharath Kumar, who alleged that Rs 5.24 crore were transferred from Rajagopal Reddy’s family-owned Sushee Infra and Mining Ltd’s State Bank of India account on October 14, 28 and 29 to 23 different persons/companies in Munugode constituency for the purpose of using this fund for voter inducement by withdrawing cash from these transferee accounts.
“Meanwhile, as a transferor, if done by you or under your direction by a family-owned company as alleged, it is duty cast on you to ensure that this fund transferred to different 23 bank accounts are not used for voter inducement, as alleged, which is a corrupt practice,” reads the notice.
The Election Commission drew his attention to provision of Model Code of Conduct (MCC) to avoid corrupt practices and offences under the election law such as bribing of voters.
