citizens of the Nagarjunasagar Assembly constituency about exercising their franchise for ruling party symbol automobile in the correct
manner.The party is using sample EVMs papers to guarantee voters cast their elect the TRS correctly, without confusing the celebration sign
with similar-looking images on the machine
The TRS is taking additional preventative measures this time to avoid the previous experience of losing votes to independent prospects who
have been set aside similar-looking signs like truck, iron box, roadway roller, tractor, chapati maker and so on
Citizens, especially in backwoods, had been puzzling the TRS vehicle symbol with these images.Significantly, the ruling celebration believes
it lost Huzurnagar Assembly survey in December 2018 and Dubbak bypoll in December 2020 owing to such confusion.Though Election Commission
removed truck and iron box signs throughout 2019 Lok Sabha elections following a demand made by TRS after 2018 Assembly surveys, the
celebration states the commission has actually allotted other comparable looking signs in Nagarjunasagar constituency to independents

This EVM has a couple of independent candidates with symbols like roadway roller, tractor and chapati maker, which TRS leaders say look like
their celebration symbol car.After 2018 December Assembly polls, TRS president and Chief Minister K
Chandrasekhar Rao had actually officially lodged a grievance with the Election Commission of India stating TRS lost several votes to the
truck sign in a number of Assembly seats
Due to this, TRS candidate lost from one seat and triumph margins of the celebration got lowered considerably in around 12 Assembly seats,
In the Dubbak Assembly bypoll, independent candidate Bandaru Nagaraju, who was set aside the chapati maker symbol, polled 3,570 votes, while
the TRS lost this election to the BJP with just 1,118 votes
TRS leaders explain that all other independents polled votes in single digits
This is sufficient proof that TRS voters got confused and chose Nagaraju
Otherwise, the ruling celebration would have quickly won Dubbak, they claimed.This is specifically the reason why TRS leaders are taking the
issue really seriously and informing their party voters to vote in the right way for the cars and truck sign
