Speaking to the media in Tirupati on Sunday, Veerraju accused the YSRC of using the volunteer system for winning the elections. “The state government has been creating terror among people through the volunteers who are threatening the poor of removing their names from the beneficiaries’ list if they do not vote for the YSRC. We are going to lodge a complaint with the Election Commission on the misuse of the volunteer system by the government,” Somu said.
