The Election officials the first day of scrutiny, rejected the candidature of YSRCP candidate Uday Bhaskar from the Rampachodavaram (ST) Assembly seat. Officials found that he did not belong to the Scheduled Tribes, after the Congress objected to his candidature. The YSRCP then declared Ms V. Rajeswari as its official nominee for the seat in East Godavari district. Elsewhere, caste status and pending criminal cases brought last minute headaches for YSRCP and TDP candidates in Seemandhra. The nominations of YSRC MP nominees, Kottapalli Geeta from Araku, and K Parthasaradhi from Machilipatnam, were accepted after high drama. The nominations of YSRCP Vizag East MLA nominee Vamsi Krishna and TDP Bheemili Assembly candidate Ganta Srinivasa Rao were kept pending. The drama over Ms Geeta’s nomination began after CPM accused the Araku LS candidate of submitting a false caste certificate.
