There is a talk that the political parties all put together have spent around ten thousand crore in the Assembly and Parliament elections in Andhra Pradesh.
The political parties are lucky that both the polls have come together in AP. Chinta Mohan a senior leader from the Congress stated that YSRC has spent around 5000 crore for the elections and still they may not win the polls.
The TDP – Janasena and BJP could have spent another five thousand crore it is believed. 500 to 5000 per vote was the amount paid by the political parties.
So the voters might have got at least a thousand rupees per vote all put-together. There are instances where some groups have not voted as they did not get any money from the political parties.
This election is different as the voters took money but voted for the TDP. The Kutami is winning all the surveys indicated. But YSRC is planning for the swearing in ceremony in Visakhapatnam.
Apart from this, some political parties distributed liquor at nights. Some MLAs are already giving parties even before the counting. It is learnt that the YSRC has blocked the hotel rooms in Visakhapatnam for the guests who would come for the swearing-in ceremony.
This is for luring the betters for YSRC they say.
