BJP Complains Over BRS Candidate's Alleged Dual Voter IDs
Imagine you can only have one official ID card.
A political party called BJP is telling the election boss that a candidate from another party, named Maganti Sunitha, has two different ID cards that are both active.
One card says her husband's name is one thing, and the other card says it's something else.
The BJP thinks this is against the rules because she should only have one ID and should have canceled the extra one.
They gave the election boss copies of the cards and want them to investigate and stop the extra card from being used.
The BJP has filed a complaint with the Chief Electoral Officer of Telangana against BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha.
The complaint alleges that Sunitha possesses two active Electoral Photo Identity Cards (EPICs) with different details.
One EPIC reportedly lists her husband as 'Gopinath Manohar,' while the other identifies him as 'Late Maganti Gopinath.'
The BJP claims this dual registration violates the Representation of the People Act and undermines electoral integrity.
The party has requested an immediate inquiry and the suspension of the duplicate voter ID pending investigation.
