BJP Alleges Voter Intimidation in Telangana
The BJP in Telangana has accused other political parties of trying to stop people from registering to vote.
They say that workers from Congress and AIMIM are scaring the people who help with voter registration and are making it hard for eligible voters, like IT professionals, to get their names on the voter list.
The BJP wants the election officials to make sure everyone who should be able to vote can do so without any problems.
They also want the officials who help with voter registration to be paid what they are owed.
The election officials have promised to look into the complaints.
