TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu has many people in many institutions to help him. He would get their support as and when required for his political advantage. He keeps his men in several institutions only to act at his behest and do some favours. He has his men in judiciary, political parties and other institutions. He uses them whenever he requires them. Former State Election Commissioner, Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar, is one such person who is there always ready to help Chandrababu Naidu. Nimmagadda tried to help Chandrababu Naidu when he was the state election commissioner. He wrote a letter to the chief justice against chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. He went all out to defame Jagan Mohan Reddy and do some favour to Chandrababu Naidu during the local body elections.
Now, after retirement, he is out there to help Chandrababu Naidu. He floated Citizens for Democracy, a voluntary organization. Ever since, he had been working for Chandrababu Naidu. He gave several representations to the Chief Electoral Officer in Andhra Pradesh and the Election Commission in Delhi against the state government. He also addressed several press conferences against the state government headed by Jagan Mohan Reddy. He made several allegations against the chief minister and the government in some media conferences. He goes all out to criticize Jagan Mohan Reddy and thus help Chandrababu Naidu. The latest act of Nimmagadaa was that he gave a letter to the Election Commission requesting it to keep the village volunteers out of pension distribution network. Acting on the representation, the election commission withdrew the volunteers from the pension distribution. He did this to favour Chandrababu Naidu.
The aged, disabled and others are now made to walk to the secretariat to receive pension. It is likely to take four to five days for these persons to receive their pensions. Volunteers have been giving pension to the beneficiaries at their doorstep on the first day of every month. But now, the beneficiaries are forced to walk bearing the hot sun. Whatever the trouble that the pensioners are facing now is the work of Nimmagadda to help Chandrababu Naidu. Now, with the decision boomeranged, the yellow party and the yellow media is trying to shift the blame on Jagan Mohan Reddy.
