BRS to File Legal Action Over Alleged Election Commission Bias
Some politicians from the BRS party are upset with the Election Commission, which is in charge of making sure elections are fair.
They say the Election Commission is not punishing the current Chief Minister, Revanth Reddy, even though they believe he broke the rules during a recent election.
The BRS also mentioned that other people associated with the Chief Minister's party said some mean things to voters and BRS workers.
The BRS remembers that the Election Commission used to be stricter with them in the past.
Because they feel the Election Commission is not being fair, the BRS plans to ask higher courts, like the High Court and Supreme Court, to get involved and make sure the rules are followed for everyone.

Quotes
B Vinod Kumar
BRS senior leader
“Our leaders are complaining to the Chief Electoral Officer here every day with evidence, but can't he take action against them? A person in a responsible position, the CEO, should act impartially. Why is Sudarshan Reddy not responding to our complaints? Why haven't they at least given notices to the Congress so far?”
