BRS Alleges Bogus Votes Despite Telangana Electoral Revision
The BRS party says Telangana’s voter-list checking process did not remove fake or suspicious names.
It says the Election Commission’s revision exercise was poorly carried out.
BRS leader Sravan Dasoju focused on one address in Hyderabad.
The address is described as a commercial building rather than a home.
BRS says 19 questionable voter registrations there increased to 44 in the draft voter list.
The party claims officials did not properly check the address in person.
It also says some of its booth-level workers faced police cases after raising concerns.
BRS wants officials to physically check suspicious addresses before the final voter lists are published.
BRS alleged that bogus votes remain in Telangana despite the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision.
Party MLC Sravan Dasoju called the revision process a sham, especially in Greater Hyderabad.
BRS cited Booth/Part No. 237 in Khairatabad, where it said 19 suspicious votes became 44 at one commercial address.
The party alleged that officials failed to conduct required physical verification and intimidated its booth-level agents.
BRS urged forensic, door-to-door verification of suspicious addresses across all 119 Telangana Assembly constituencies before final rolls are finalized.
