The Supreme Court has directed the Andhra Pradesh State Election Commission to pause the candidate list while stressing that public confidence in elections is essential to democracy. During the hearing, YSRCP's counsel, Maninder Singh, alleged that in 19 of 100 urban local bodies, more than 63% of the party's candidates were either blocked from filing nominations or had their papers torn. Appearing for the state government, Sidharth Luthra countered that YSRCP was bringing in criminal elements from as far as Punjab and stirring up violence before complaining about it.
