Huge amounts of black money are being pumped into the constituencies headed for bypolls through hawala. Sources say that at least Rs 15 to Rs 20 crore has been channelled by a political party to constituencies like Narsa-pur, Ramachandrapuram, Tirupati, Payakaraopet, Parakala, and Prattipadu; where tough fights are in the offing.
It has been alleged that political parties are using hawala operators to transport the money. Cash is handed over to the operators in Hyderabad and within a few hours the amount is handed over to party candidates and their fund managers in the districts.
