Ever since the former Election Commissioner Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar pushed local body polls by six weeks, AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has breathed fire on the TDP's supremo Chandrababu Naidu and the EC alleging that both of them had done caste politics.
Finally, the YCP government has been succeeded in bringing a special ordinance with the approval of the governor which paved the way for termination of Ramesh Kumar.
According to unconfirmed reports, TUDA chairman and election commission secretary Ramasundara Reddy has been appointed the new election commissioner. According to the new ordinance, the EC comprises a 3-membered committee.
Meanwhile, Ramasundara Reddy's appointment again embroiled a huge controversy as the new EC hails from the same caste as the AP CM's caste. What will YCP say on new EC's caste? Maybe, the ruling party is not in a position to pay heed of anyone's criticisms on the caste of the new EC.
