The much touted Kadapa bypolls went off peacefully. However, stray incidence of violence were reported in the last two hours of polling in few places of Pulivendula and Kadapa assembly segments. Contrary to expectations, the poll percentage dipped to 70 per cent in Kadapa against 75 per cent in the 2009 general elections. In Pulivendula, however, a massive voter turnout of 81 per cent, three per cent up from the general elections.
With a large number of women casting their votes, the trends suggested that the mother-son team of Ms Vijayalakshmi and Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was heading for a landslide win. Adding strength to the prediction was the unusual criticism from the Congress and Opposition TD that the EC had totally failed to ensure free and fair polling. According to the DGP, Mr K. Aravinda Rao, the police had to fire in the air at Siddagaripalli Village in the Pulivendula Assembly segment to disperse a mob when the Congress and the YSR Congress Party supporters clashed and threw stones at each other. The health minister, Dr D.L. Ravindra Reddy, who took on Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy, was accused of destroying an OB van of Sakshi TV owned by Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy and attacking the staff of the media house.
