As many as 50 companies of Central Reserve Police Force, each comprising 135 personnel, have been posted in different parts of the state, particularly in sensitive districts Palnadu, Anantapur and Chittoor districts which witnessed violent incidents on the day of polling on May 13 and the subsequent few days.

AP election: Violence on poll day
Violence was reported in the state on polling day (May 13), with both the ruling chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSR Congress and the Opposition parties accusing each other of resorting to violence.
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) accused the YSR Congress of abducting its poll agents. There were complaints of the kidnapping of three TDP polling agents in the Punganur assembly constituency while the ruling party said that TDP had resorted to violence and disruptions during the voting process.
YSR Congress’ Tenali Assembly candidate Annabattuni Siva Kumar was captured on camera slapping a voter who protested when the former tried to jump the queue to cast his vote. This led to a physical altercation between the YSR Congress cadre who accompanied the candidate and the voter. The ECI eventually ordered the police to place Siva Kumar under house arrest until polling time was over.
