KTR Questions Election Commission Over Telangana Voter Roll Disputes
KTR criticized how India’s Election Commission is handling voter lists.
Reports said two of the three commissioners objected to some decisions about adding, removing, and restoring voters.
KTR said this raised questions about how the commission makes decisions.
He argued that an institution protecting democracy should not work in an almost autocratic way.
He also said voter deletions were highest in areas where the BRS had won.
KTR accused Congress and BJP of working together against the BRS.
He said the BRS would take the matter to courts and the public.
He promised to seek the return of every vote he believes was removed illegally.
BRS Working President KTR questioned the Election Commission of India’s functioning over reported internal objections concerning voter registration, deletion, and restoration.
KTR said objections from two of the three Election Commissioners required immediate scrutiny and institutional reform.
He alleged that the highest voter deletions in Telangana occurred in constituencies won by the BRS.
KTR accused Congress and BJP of an undeclared alliance against the BRS and alleged the Election Commission appeared to be part of it.
He said the BRS would challenge the issue in court and before the public, seeking restoration of allegedly illegal deletions.
