Telangana CM alleges conspiracy to delete lakhs of electors' names
Telangana's Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy, gave a speech at a big meeting in Hyderabad.
He said some politicians are trying to take people's names off the voting list so they cannot vote.
He said the same thing happened in West Bengal before its election.
He asked his party workers to visit every home and check that everyone can still vote.
He also said the old government did not do a good job with exams for government jobs, and that his government made them fair.
He talked about a special rule that helps people from minority groups.
He said another political party wants to remove that help, but his party supports it.
He wants young people to learn new skills so they can get good jobs in Germany and Japan.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy alleged that "some political forces" conspired to delete electors' names in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Telangana, similar to West Bengal.
He urged Congress cadres to visit every household and ensure no eligible person loses their right to vote.
He mocked the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi government over failed Group-1 examinations and alleged an RMP doctor was appointed to the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC).
Revanth Reddy claimed Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared the BJP would remove the 4% minority reservation if it comes to power in Telangana.
He credited Congress for implementing the minority reservation and advised minority youth to gain skills for job opportunities in Germany and Japan.
