Several women candidates from the opposition YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in Andhra Pradesh alleged intimidation while filing nominations for urban local body elections ending October 18. Kadapa mayoral candidate Bandi Deepthi Reddy filed her nomination but faced a knife and bottle attack at her home on October 19. Pulivendula chairperson hopeful Sunita Reddy was barred by police from filing her nomination, citing law and order issues. Both posts are reserved for women and are YSRCP strongholds.
