Morning Breaking: BJP President Amit Shah to Campaign In Telangana today
New Delhi: The Election Commission Friday removed Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary Anil Chandra Punetha from the post and appointed senior-most IAS officer L V Subrahmanyam of the 1983 batch in the place of the former.
Earlier, the EC had removed two top bureaucrats from their positions during election time.
Also, the EC directed that Punetha, scheduled to retire from service May-end, be posted to a 'non-election' position.'
Punetha had filed a writ petition in the Andhra Pradesh High Court on March 27 challenging the EC order transferring the Director General of Intelligence AB Venkateswara Rao.
In the petition, he contended that the EC did not have any 'untrammelled powers' to interfere with the course of administration that is unconnected to polling.
''The EC cannot engage in unchecked, arbitrary and uncanalised exercise of power.
The EC order suffers from the vice of lack of jurisdiction, suffers from being a colourable exercise of power and is based on alien purposes or oblique motives which have nothing to do with the conduct of polling duties, state Political Secretary (General Administration Department) N Srikant had said in the petition filed on behalf of the Chief Secretary.
The Chief Secretary, in fact, had complied with the EC order on Tuesday midnight and transferred the Intelligence DG, along with two district SPs, but he cancelled the Intelligence chiefs transfer order Wednesday morning after the Chief Minister allegedly raised a hue and cry.
The High Court had rejected the Chief Secretarys petition last Friday, forcing him to issue an order shifting the DG intelligence.
Machilipatnam: A police officer has been transferred for allegedly failing to implement the model code of conduct in Madanapalle, an official said on Saturday.
P Suresh Kumar, the circle inspector, will be posted to a non-election position, said Andhra Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer Gopal Krishna Dwivedi.
He said M Subbarayudu, CI, DTC Anantapuram has now been posted as Circle Inspector of Madanapalle town-II.
A report has been called from the state government regarding the matter on the basis of which the Election Commission will decide the next course of action.
Dwivedi said reportedly a few districts were appointing private school teachers in the polling parties. Later, all the district election officers were asked to appoint only government employees on polling duties.
West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh mocked at CM Mamata Banerjee for writing to the Election Commission over the transfer of four IPS officers and claimed that many more transfers are in the pipeline. Watch full video to know more.
West Bengal BJP president hits out at Mamata Banerjee for writing to EC on transfer of IPS officers
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a blistering attack stating that Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has lost her sleep with people chanting the Prime Minister’s name. “The more you chant Modi, Modi, didi is not getting sleep, she is the speed breaker towards development in the state. She is hyperventilating on the Election Commission as police officers have been transferred

VIKARABAD: Reaffirming his support for special category status to Andhra Pradesh, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday hit out at his Andhra Pradesh counterpart Chandrababu Naidu saying that Naidu is set to face defeat in upcoming Lok Sabha poll and the Andhra CM is "abusing" him every day out of fear of defeat.
"Our MPs have spoken in Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha in support of giving special category status to Andhra Pradesh. Even now we have the same stand. After winning seats in the elections, our MPs will offer support in bringing special category status to Andhra Pradesh," he said while addressing a rally in Vikarabad.
The demand to grant special category status to Andhra Pradesh intensified after the division of the region into two states in 2014, when Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh during the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre.
Andhra Pradesh`s capital Hyderabad, which is home to several IT firms, was also shifted to Telangana. At present, 11 states - Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Tripura, Uttarakhand and Mizoram - have been granted special status category. These states receive special financial aid from the Centre because majority of them have hilly-terrain and have a considerable population of tribal people.
The funds to special and general category states are allocated by the central government on the basis of Madhav Gadgil-Pranab Mukherjee formula, which was proposed in 1969.
Meanwhile, TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday made a controversial remark calling TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao and YSRCP chief Jaganmohan Reddy the "pet dogs of Modi".
"Shameless Jaganmohan Reddy is eating dog biscuits; he is distributing them to us also. Jaganmohan Reddy and KCR are pet dogs for Modi, they will be at his feet for a single biscuit. Jagan is going to share those biscuits with you too, beware," Naidu said at a rally.
The Andhra CM claimed that YSRCP is getting money from BJP and TRS for their political campaigns but the party will fail to win the election despite spending crores.
"Modi and KCR have spent Rs 1000 crores (Referring to being given to Jagan for spending in elections). KCR, why did you send that money? Why did you send your state money to us? Even if you send 10,000 crores you won`t get even a single vote here. Our people are so angry with you", said Naidu.
Andhra Pradesh is scheduled to witness simultaneous polling for both Lok Sabha and assembly constituencies on April 11. Counting of votes will take place on May 23.

Income tax sleuths on Tuesday raided different locations related to Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MP Jayadev Galla. While speaking to mediapersons, he said, “It is happening at three locations where my election team was staying. I am demanding an explanation on why we are being targeted."
I-T raids are attempts by PM Modi to influence elections, says Jayadev Galla
The stage is set for voting on Thursday in all the 175 Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh. The polling will be held in one go from 7 am to 6 pm in the state. A total of 2,118 contestants are in the fray. This is the first assembly election in the state after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, and formation of Telangana, in June 2014.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president and AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu would be seeking election to the Assembly for the ninth time from Kuppam constituency in his native Chittoor district, while his son Nara Lokesh is making his electoral debut this time from the backward classes-dominated Mangalagiri segment in the capital region, Amaravati. Chandrababu Naidu`s brother-in-law and actor N Balakrishna is seeking re-election from Hindupur Assembly constituency as the TDP candidate.
The leader of Opposition and YSR Congress president YS Jaganmohan Reddy an aspirant for the Chief Minister's post is fighting his second Assembly election from his family's pocket borough Pulivendula.
Film star Pawan Kalyan, whose Jana Sena jumped into the electoral battlefield for the first time, is contesting from Bhimavaram and Gajuwaka Assembly segments.
Chandrababu Naidu termed the elections a "life and death issue" for the people of the state while the principal opposition YSR Congress propogated that this would be the final electoral battle for the former, the self-styled "senior-most politician" in the country. For the first time in its 37-year-old history, the Telugu Desam Party is fighting the April 11 elections on its own, without an ally, but there were clear hints that it has a "tacit understanding" with the Jana Sena. Kalyan had openly supported the TDP-BJP combine then allies in 2014 but chose a different approach this time.
A strong anti-incumbency, caste and corruption are the major factors that could determine the outcome of the election in the state as over 3.93 crore voters get to exercise their franchise. The counting of votes will take place on May 23.
AMARAVATI: A Jana Sena Party candidate in Andhra Pradesh was arrested after he damaged an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) on Thursday as polling for the 25 Lok Sabha seats and 175-member Assembly was underway in the state.
Madhusudan Gupta threw the EVM on the floor at a polling station in the Guntakal Assembly constituency of Anantapur district, the police said.
Gupta, who had come to cast his vote at the polling station in Gutti, was angry with the polling staff over names of Assembly and Parliament constituencies not being displayed properly.
He lifted the EVM and threw it on the floor. The machine was damaged in the incident. Gupta was immediately arrested after the incident, the police added.
